| Reverse description | Artemis, goddess and divine patron of Ephesus, depicted standing to the right in vigorous hunting pose, clad in a short belted chiton characteristic of the huntress iconography. She holds a bow in her extended hand while drawing an arrow from the quiver slung at her shoulder; a tree rises behind her figure in the field, and a hound stands at her feet, reinforcing the hunting theme. The encircling legend proclaims Ephesus as first city of Asia, a title of great civic pride. The composition reflects the high-quality die-cutting tradition of Ephesian civic coinage under the Decian period. |
