| Reverse description | Mount Argaeus, the sacred volcanic mountain of Cappadocia, depicted in the distinctive local schematic style as a conical peak with summits rendered as stylised flames or pinnacles, rising above a stepped altar or baetyl represented as two rectangular tiered platforms with horizontal banding. The composition is centralised within the field, with the Greek legend distributed around the periphery and the date formula ЄT Δ (Year 4) inscribed in the lower field below the altar. The overall rendering is characteristic of the schematised Caesarean provincial coinage of the Severan and later periods. |
