| Reverse description | Demeter standing facing with head turned to the left, holding a sheaf of wheat ears in her raised right hand; her left hand rests upon a tall lighted torch. At her feet, a serpent coils upward, a common chthonic attribute associated with the goddess in Anatolian and Greek provincial iconography. The reverse legend encircles the field in Greek, identifying the issuing civic community. The composition reflects standard Demeter typology widely employed on Bithynian provincial bronzes of the imperial period. |
