| Reverse description | Three nude male athletes standing in frontal poses, flanking a central ballot-urn (kleroterion) placed on a low base in the field. The central figure faces forward, while the flanking figures turn slightly inward toward the urn, evoking the ceremonial lottery characteristic of Greek athletic festivals. The composition alludes to the Gordianeia Attaleia games celebrated by the city of Aphrodisias. The encircling Greek legend names the games and the issuing civic authority. |
