| Reverse description | Dionysus, the divine patron of Synaus, stands facing left in a relaxed contrapposto pose, holding a cantharus in his outstretched right hand and a long thyrsus in his left. A panther crouches at his feet to the left, a standard Dionysiac attribute affirming the deity's identity. The reverse legend encircles the field, naming the magistrate Charidemos and the civic ethnic of the Synaeitae, as was customary on Lydian provincial bronzes of this period. |
