| Reverse description | An agonistic table crown, inscribed with the names of the games, set upon a table with curved legs and flanked on either side by prize purses in the field. A palm branch rises from within the crown, symbolising athletic victory. The composition follows the standard agonistic type common to Carian provincial bronzes commemorating sacred games held under imperial patronage. The arrangement emphasises the civic prestige of the Attaleia Gordianeia games celebrated at Aphrodisias. |
