| 背面描述 | Leto, dressed in a long chiton with diplois and peplos, strides urgently to the right with her head turned back over her left shoulder. Her arms are extended before her, bearing the infant deities Apollo and Artemis, each depicted holding a small bow, alluding to their future role as divine archers. The scene references the mythological flight of Leto to Delos, a subject particularly favoured at Ephesus given the city's close association with the Artemision. The reverse legend encircles the figural group, proclaiming Ephesus as four-time neocorate. |

Ephesus held the title of neokoros — official keeper of an imperial cult temple — four times by the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, a distinction it advertised aggressively on civic coinage. The ΔΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ legend is a direct assertion of that fourfold status, earned incrementally through decades of political lobbying in Rome and competitive posturing against rival Anatolian cities like Smyrna and Pergamon. Cities that lost neokorate status sometimes struck coins mourning the fact; Ephesus, by contrast, spent this period broadcasting how many it had accumulated.
