| Reverse description | The river-god Kaystros reclines to the left in a languid, naturalistic pose, his right hand holding a reed stalk and his left arm supporting a cornucopia, his body resting against an overturned water-urn from which water flows, symbolizing the source of the eponymous river of the Ephesian plain. The figure is rendered in a Hellenistic artistic tradition common to Ionian civic bronzes, with the river deity's muscular torso and flowing drapery conveying both divinity and the fecundity of the river valley. The reverse legend in two lines around the field identifies the issuing city as Ephesus and names the depicted deity, referencing the civic pride of Ephesus in its local geography and religious iconography. |
