| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Artemis is depicted striding left in dynamic motion, her head turned back to the right in a characteristic pose of alert vigilance. Her right hand reaches back over her shoulder to draw an arrow from the quiver suspended at her back, while her left hand extends forward holding the bow. This iconographic type, closely associated with the civic coinage of Thyatira, reflects the city's strong cult veneration of Artemis. The encircling legend ΘΥΑΤΕΙΡΗΝΩΝ in Greek identifies the issuing civic authority in the genitive plural. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thyatira, a Lydian city on the road between Pergamum and Sardis, was commercially prosperous enough during the Severan period to sustain a vigorous local bronze coinage under multiple emperors. Elagabalus's brief, chaotic reign from Rome did little to interrupt provincial minting — cities like Thyatira operated with considerable autonomy in issuing civic bronzes, requiring only that the emperor's name appear on the obverse to signal loyalty rather than any direct imperial authorization of the specific type.
The city was notable for its trade guilds, including dyers and wool-workers, whose prosperity funded civic dedications throughout the period.
