| Reverse description | Zeus, nude, strides vigorously to the right in a dynamic, contrapposto pose; his raised right arm hurls a thunderbolt while his extended left arm holds an eagle perched upon his hand. The figure is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition characteristic of Ephesian civic bronzes, conveying divine power and authority. The reverse legend arcs around the field, identifying the city of Ephesus and its coveted thrice-neocorate status. |
