| Reverse description | Apollo, the patron deity of Philadelphia in Lydia, is depicted seated to the left in a biga drawn by two griffins, the mythological creatures associated with the god. Apollo holds a laurel branch in his outstretched hand and rests his arm upon a lyre, both standard attributes linking him to music and prophecy. The composition reflects the local civic pride in Apolline cult worship at Philadelphia. The surrounding Greek legend identifies the local magistrate responsible for the coin's issue. |
