| Reverse description | Front view of a distyle arched shrine with two columns, within which Aphrodite stands facing, nude, head turned to the right, holding a mirror in one hand and raising the other to arrange her hair in the Anadyomene pose. At her feet, a dolphin is depicted downwards, referencing the goddess's marine associations. The architectural framing and the cult image reflect the Aphrodite worship attested at Philadelphia in Lydia. The encircling legend names the presiding magistrate and honours the city's neocorate status. |
