Reverse description Jugate busts of Sarapis and Artemis Ephesia facing left, both draped; Sarapis wears his distinctive kalathos (modius) atop his head, while Artemis bears a quiver at her shoulder, evoking her role as the principal deity of Ephesus. The pairing of the two deities as jugate busts is an emblematic homonoia type, symbolising the concord between Ephesus and Alexandria. The reverse legend, disposed in the field around the busts, proclaims this civic and religious alliance in Greek characters.
