| Obverse lettering | ΑΥΤ Κ ΠΟ ΛΙΚΙΝ ΓΑΛΛΙΗΝΟϹ (Translation: Emperor Caesar Publius Licinius Gallienus) |
| Reverse description | The reverse depicts Androklos, the mythological founder of Ephesus, shown nude save for a chlamys billowing behind him, striding vigorously to the left with a spear leveled at a wild boar cornered against the trunk of a tree. A hound is visible behind the hero, alluding to the legendary oracle that instructed Androklos to follow a boar and a fish to found his city. The composition is energetic and narrative in character, reflecting the civic pride of Ephesus in its foundational myth, and is framed by the civic neocorate legend. |
