| Reverse description | A radiate Lydian hero-god is depicted on horseback advancing to the right, seated dynamically upon a striding horse, and brandishing a double-headed axe (labrys) in his raised right hand. This type reflects a distinctly Lydian religious tradition, associating the local heroic deity with mounted warrior iconography. The reverse legend, distributed around the field within a dotted border, identifies the local magistrate responsible for the coin issue. The composition is vigorous and characteristic of provincial bronze coinage from the Sardis conventus. |
