| Reverse description | Dionysus, the principal deity of Tripolis, depicted standing in contrapposto facing left, clad in a long chiton and himation. In his outstretched right hand he holds a cantharus, and in his left hand he grasps a tall thyrsus, the ivy-wreathed staff emblematic of the god. The reverse legend ΤΡΙΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ curves around the field within a dotted border, asserting the civic identity of the issuing city. The composition is characteristic of Lydian provincial coinage under Philip I. |
