| Reverse description | Cybele, the Anatolian mother goddess, is depicted seated to the left upon a throne, extending her right hand to hold a patera in a gesture of libation, while her left arm rests upon a tympanon at her side. A lion, her sacred animal and attribute, crouches at her feet to the left, rendered in the compact provincial style. The composition emphasises the deep local veneration of Cybele in the Lydian region. The reverse legend, arranged around the field, records the name and title of the local magistrate Athenodoros, rhetor and strategos, identifying the civic authority responsible for the coin's issue. |
