| Reverse description | Artemis, the patron deity of Ephesus, depicted standing facing with head turned to the right, clad in a long chiton with diplois. The goddess holds a long torch diagonally across her body with both hands, a distinctive iconographic type associated with the Ephesian cult. The composition is characteristic of the civic pride expressed in Ephesian provincial coinage, emphasizing the city's preeminent religious and political status as first of Asia. The reverse legend proclaims the title ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ Α ΑϹΙΑϹ distributed around the field. |
