| Reverse description | A covered ceremonial wagon (carpentum) drawn by two horses advancing to the right, its canopied superstructure decorated with hanging wreaths along the side panels. The type alludes to the sacred processions associated with the imperial cult and the prestige of Ephesus as a thrice-neocorate city, honoured for hosting three imperial cult temples. The two-line Greek legend, divided above and below the central type, proclaims the city's distinguished status. The composition is typical of civic pride issues struck at Ephesus during the mid-third century AD. |
