Reverse description Agonistic table depicted in perspective, bearing two prize crowns adorned with palm fronds, one at each end of the table surface. Between the crowns, five apples or fruit are arranged on the table, with the letter alpha (Α) inscribed above them, likely denoting the first or primary contest prize. The composition commemorates the Pythian and Olympian games celebrated at Tralles, as recorded in the surrounding legend. The type is characteristic of agonistic coinage issued by cities of the Conventus of Ephesus under the Severan and Gordian dynasties.
