Reverse description A carpentum — an ornate two-wheeled ceremonial carriage — drawn to the right by a biga of two horses, rendered in profile. The carriage body is depicted with architectural detailing, and a colonnaded temple facade is visible in the background to the left, likely representing the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, underscoring the city's religious prestige. A star may appear below the horses in some specimens. The Greek legend ΠΡΩΤΩΝ ΑϹΙΑϹ ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ runs around the design, proclaiming Ephesus as 'first of Asia.'
