| Reverse description | Two cult statues depicted in the field: to the left, the cult statue of Diana/Artemis of Ephesus standing frontally, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical headdress) and supported by lateral props in the characteristic Ephesian type with multiple rows of decorative elements on the torso; to the right, the cult statue of Venus/Aphrodite of Acrocorinthus standing and facing left, holding the shield of Mars/Ares before her as a mirror, in an elegant contrapposto pose. The composition juxtaposes two major cult images venerated in the region, reflecting Corinth's role as a center of syncretic religious practice. The colonial legend appears in the field, partially preserved. |
