| Reverse description | A tetrastyle or distyle shrine with two flanking columns encloses a standing figure of the nude, radiate-headed Helios advancing to the right, wearing a chlamys draped over the shoulder, carrying a long transverse sceptre across the shoulder and holding a torch in the extended hand. The architectural framing emphasises the cultic significance of the solar deity within the civic context of Philadelphia. A Greek legend naming the magistrate and the issuing city runs around the periphery. |
