| Reverse description | The goddess Derketo (Atargatis), wearing a crescent headdress, depicted standing to the left atop a Triton, holding a dove in one hand and a long sceptre in the other. The Triton, a marine deity rendered as a hybrid figure, supports Derketo with both hands gripping a cornucopia, symbolising abundance. This reverse type reflects the distinctive Philistine religious iconography of Ascalon, where Derketo was the principal civic deity. The ethnic legend ΑϹΚΑΛωΝ appears in the field, accompanied by a partially legible or uncertain date formula. |
