| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Artemis advancing briskly to the right, depicted in short chiton with her arms outstretched, holding a lit torch in each hand. The goddess is shown in a dynamic striding pose, consistent with the iconographic tradition of Artemis as a torch-bearer associated with nocturnal rites. The ethnic legend of the Megarians is distributed in the field around the figure. The style is characteristic of provincial Greek civic coinage of Achaea under the Antonine dynasty. |
