Reverse description Artemis, the patron deity of Ephesus, depicted in dynamic stride advancing to the right, her right hand raised to draw an arrow from the quiver suspended at her shoulder, her left hand extended holding a bow. A hound runs to the right in the lower field, referencing Artemis's role as goddess of the hunt. The composition is a standard Ephesian civic type celebrating the city's divine patroness. The reverse legend proclaiming the city's four neocorate honors frames the scene, affirming Ephesus's privileged religious status within the Roman provincial hierarchy.
