Reverse description A covered ceremonial wagon (carpentum) drawn by two horses proceeding to the right, the arched canopy of the vehicle decorated with wreaths along its side panels. The type alludes to a significant imperial visit or procession associated with Ephesus, reflecting the city's pride in its neocorate status. The reverse legend, distributed in two lines across the field, proclaims Ephesus as a thrice-neocorate city, an honor of the highest civic prestige in the province of Asia. The composition is typical of Ephesian civic bronze issues struck under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus.
