| Reverse description | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess, seated left on a throne mounted on a biga drawn by two lions, holding a patera in her outstretched right hand and resting her left elbow upon a tympanum. Before the biga, an agonistic table bearing prize urns and a palm branch is depicted, alluding to local games held at Cotiaeum. The composition is characteristic of Phrygian civic bronzes celebrating the cult of Cybele and local festival traditions, with the magistrate's name and civic ethnic distributed in the surrounding legend. |
