| Reverse description | A two-column tetrastyle or distyle temple facade encloses a cult statue of Cybele, the Magna Mater, shown standing frontally and holding a patera in her right hand and a tympanum in her left, flanked by two lions seated at her sides. The architectural rendering emphasizes the pediment and columnar structure characteristic of the civic temple coinage of Magnesia ad Sipylum. The encircling Greek legend names the eponymous strategos Aurelius Theodotos and identifies the issuing city of the Magnesians of the Sipylus. |
