| Reverse description | Apollo standing to the right, his left foot resting upon a bucranium (ox skull), his left elbow leaning atop a tall column, and both hands clasping a serpent. The deity is depicted in a relaxed contrapposto pose typical of Hellenistic and Roman provincial iconography, reflecting the strong cult of Apollo at Thyatira. The encircling legend around the field names the local magistrate Octavius Artemidoros and the civic identity of the Thyatirans. The reverse type emphasizes the city's religious and civic pride under the joint reign of Valerian and Gallienus. |
