| Reverse description | The goddess Cybele, turreted and wearing a long chiton, is depicted seated to the left upon a throne, extending a patera in her right hand. A lion, the sacred attribute of the goddess, appears beside her at lower left. The design reflects the prominent civic cult of Cybele at Smyrna. The encircling Greek legend, arranged around the dotted border, records the city's triple neocorate status and the name of the presiding strategos Sextus. |
