| Reverse description | Artemis, patron goddess of Ephesus, standing facing with head turned to the right, clad in a long chiton with diplois, holding a lengthy torch diagonally across her body with both hands. The composition reflects the local Ephesian cult iconography closely associated with the city's sacred identity as the primary sanctuary of Artemis in Asia Minor. The Greek legend proclaiming Ephesus as 'first of Asia' frames the type, emphasizing the city's preeminent civic and religious status within the provincial hierarchy. |
