| Reverse description | Artemis, the principal deity of Ephesus, depicted standing facing with head turned to the right, a quiver at her shoulder, holding a torch in each raised hand — an iconographic variant specific to the Ephesian cult. At her feet to the right, a stag reclines, referencing the goddess's role as divine huntress and her sacred association with the animal. The composition is framed by the civic legend in Greek around the periphery, affirming Ephesus's prized status as a four-time neocorate city. The design reflects the religious and civic pride of the Ephesian mint under Elagabalus. |
