| Reverse description | Full-length figure of Artemis advancing to the right, depicted in the role of torch-bearer, holding an upright lit torch in each outstretched hand. The goddess is shown in short chiton, her posture conveying forward movement. The ethnic legend of the issuing city, ΜΕΓΑΡΕωΝ, is placed in the field, identifying this as a civic issue of Megara. The composition is consistent with the veneration of Artemis as a significant deity in the religious life of Megara during the imperial period. |
