Beschrijving keerzijde Artemis as huntress shown in dynamic running pose to the right, her chlamys billowing behind her. In her extended left hand she holds a bow, while her right arm reaches back over her shoulder to draw an arrow from the quiver slung at her back. A hound strides to the right at her feet, reinforcing the hunting iconography closely associated with the cult of Artemis at Ephesus. The reverse legend encircling the field proudly proclaims Ephesus as a four-time neocorate city, reflecting the city's exceptional religious and civic prestige within the province of Asia.

Aanvullende informatie

Ephesus held the title of neokoros — temple warden — four times over, a distinction awarded by Rome that the city defended jealously through embassies, civic expenditures, and relentless political lobbying. The Δ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ legend on this issue advertises that fourth wardenship, granted under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus, when Ephesus was competing fiercely with Smyrna and Pergamon for provincial prestige. Provincial bronze of this period was funded and authorized locally, making it as much a civic document as a coin.
