| Beschrijving keerzijde | A lion, the civic emblem of Sardis, strides to the left in a dynamic pose with head facing forward; before it in the lower field appears a bee, a symbol associated with Lydian civic identity, and above the lion's back a six-pointed star occupies the upper field. The Greek reverse legend, divided between the upper and lower periphery, proclaims the city's twice-awarded neocorate status, a mark of great civic prestige. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sardis held the title of neokoros — official keeper of an imperial cult temple — twice by the reign of Caracalla, a distinction aggressively lobbied for through embassies to Rome and commemorated on civic coinage whenever the city could manage it. The double neokoros status reflected decades of political maneuvering within the conventus system, where Lydian cities competed fiercely for honorific precedence. Sardis had held its first neokoros grant under Claudius, the second likely confirmed under Caracalla himself.
