| Reverse description | The lunar deity Mên depicted standing to the left, his right foot resting upon a bucranium (ox skull), wearing the distinctive Phrygian cap. In his right hand he holds a patera, and in his left a long sceptre; a crescent moon appears prominently behind his shoulders, emblematic of his astral nature. The ethnic legend ΑΦΡΟΔΕΙϹΙΕΩΝ (of the Aphrodisians) encircles the reverse field, affirming the civic identity of the issuing city. The composition reflects the strong local veneration of Mên at Aphrodisias and the broader Carian region during the Severan era. |
