| Reverse description | Asclepius, the god of medicine, standing facing with head turned to the left, depicted in long robes, his right hand resting upon a tall knotted staff entwined by a serpent — the caduceus of Asclepius — which serves as his principal iconographic attribute. The figure is rendered in the conventional provincial idiom, occupying the full height of the reverse field. The Greek inscription of the local magistrate and civic ethnikon encircles the design, naming the strategos Nikephorion and the Poroselenite community. The reverse type reflects the widespread veneration of Asclepius across the Greek cities of Asia Minor during the imperial period. |
