| Reverse description | The infant Zeus (ΔΙΟΣ ΓΟΝΑΙ, 'Birth of Zeus'), depicted in swaddling clothes, reclines to the left upon a rocky outcrop traditionally identified as Mount Ida in Mysia. Above the infant, a large eagle is shown in frontal aspect with wings outstretched, acting as divine guardian of the newborn deity. This reverse type is a celebrated local myth of the Tralles civic coinage, referencing the Lydian claim to the birthplace of Zeus. The Greek ethnic legend of the Trallians frames the scene, asserting civic identity and religious pride. |
