| Reverse description | Standing figure of Venus/Aphrodite facing right in full length, draped in a long chiton, her arms extended outward and downward, holding a long torch in each hand directed toward the ground. The deity is depicted frontally at center field with the colonial legend distributed around the periphery. The type reflects the local veneration of Aphrodite at the Pisidian-Galatian colony of Lystra, and the torches may allude to a specific cultic or ceremonial context. The reverse legend identifies the issuing authority as the Julian twin colony of Lystra. |
