| Reverse description | Standing cult figure of Apollo Pythios facing front, rendered in a stiff, archaic hieratic style, with arms extended and holding a cluster of spherical objects (interpreted as omphaloi or votive offerings) above a tripod or columnar base. The composition alludes to the Pythian Games celebrated at Thessalonica under the neokorate. The encircling legend ΘECCΑΛΟΝEΙΚEΩΝ ΝEΩΚΟ is distributed around the periphery, with ΠΥΘΙΑ appearing in the field, referencing the city's status as neokoros and the Pythian festival. A beaded border frames the reverse. |
