| Reverse description | Hygieia standing to the right, feeding a serpent from a patera held in her extended right hand, facing the god Asclepius who stands frontally with his head turned to the left and holds a serpent-entwined staff (kerykeion/staff of Asclepius) in his left hand. The composition presents the two deities of health and medicine in a canonical confronted arrangement favored by the Smyrnaean civic coinage of the Severan period. The Greek civic legend naming the strategos Claudius Aristophanes encircles the reverse field. The surface is heavily corroded with significant patination obscuring fine details of the drapery and figural modeling. |
