| Reverse description | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess, seated left on a throne, holding a patera in her extended right hand and resting her left arm upon a tympanum; a lion, her sacred animal, crouches at her feet. The composition reflects the strong local veneration of Cybele in Phrygia, rendered in the typical provincial style of Asia Minor civic bronzes. The encircling legend names the presiding archon and the civic ethnic of Cidyessus. |
