| Reverse description | The river god Harpasos, personification of the local river near the city of Harpasa in Caria, reclines to the left in the classical reclining river deity convention. He holds a reed in one hand and a cornucopia in the other, emblems of the river's life-giving abundance, while resting his elbow upon an overturned water urn from which water flows — a standard iconographic device for river deities in Greco-Roman provincial coinage. The ethnic legend ΑΡΠΑϹΗΝΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority. |
