| Reverse description | The goddess Leto, clad in a long chiton with diplois and peplos, strides urgently to the right with her head turned back over her left shoulder. Her outstretched arms cradle her twin divine children, the infant Apollo and infant Artemis, each depicted holding a small bow, alluding to their future roles as archer deities. The composition references the mythological flight of Leto to Delos to give birth, a scene of particular significance at Ephesus given the city's close religious ties to Artemis. The encircling reverse legend identifies Ephesus as a thrice-neocorate city, emphasizing its prestigious status in the imperial cult. |
