| Beschrijving keerzijde | The iconic cult statue of Ephesian Artemis (Artemis Ephesia) depicted frontally in the traditional xoanon pose, standing erect with arms extended horizontally and the lower body tightly swathed in a feathered or egg-adorned garment. The goddess is shown in her distinctive polycephalic form with multiple rows of pendants or ova on the chest, referencing the celebrated chryselephantine idol housed in the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The reverse legend encircles the field identifying the deity and the issuing city. The coin's heavy encrustation partially obscures finer details of the image. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ephesus struck coins in the names of co-emperors throughout the joint reign of Valerian I and Gallienus — a period when the Roman empire was fracturing under simultaneous pressure from Sassanid invasion in the east and Gothic incursions across the Danube. Valerian himself was captured by Shapur I at Edessa around 260 AD, the first Roman emperor taken prisoner by a foreign enemy, leaving Gallienus to rule alone for the remainder of the period. Provincial mints like Ephesus continued issuing bronze coinage largely independent of imperial direction during this collapse.
