| Reverse description | A male deity stands facing, clad in eastern dress and wearing a Phrygian cap, with a crescent ornament on each shoulder, identifying the figure as Men, the Anatolian lunar deity widely venerated in the region of Magnesia ad Maeandrum. In his right hand he holds a patera and in his left a sceptre adorned with crescents. To the left of the figure stands a tall torch around which a serpent is coiled, a common cultic attribute in the iconography of this sanctuary. The reverse legend ΓΡΑ ΦΩΤΕΙΝΟΥ ΜΑΓΝΗΤΩΝ, inscribed in the field, records the magistracy of the grammateus Photinos under whose authority the coinage was issued. |
