| Reverse description | Selene-Hecate advances to the right, her head turned back to the left in a dynamic retrograde pose. She wears a chiton billowing dramatically behind her in the wind and bears a crescent on her shoulders as an attribute of the lunar goddess. In each hand she holds a torch, one raised upward and the other directed downward, emblematic of Hecate's chthonic role as guide of the underworld. The reverse legend encircles the figure within a beaded border, identifying the issuing city. |
