| Reverse description | Standing figure of Artemis, patron goddess of Ephesus, depicted full-length facing forward with head turned to the right, clad in a long chiton with diplois. The goddess holds a long torch transversely across her body with both hands, a distinctive iconographic variant associated with the cult of Artemis Ephesia. The reverse legend in the field and periphery proclaims Ephesus as a four-time neocorate city, a prestigious civic honor indicating the city's role as guardian of imperial cult temples. The composition reflects the civic pride and religious significance of Ephesus as a leading metropolis of the province of Asia. |
