Reverse description Homonoia type reverse depicting two divine figures in juxtaposition, symbolising the civic concord between Pergamum and Ephesus. On the left, Asclepius stands facing right with head turned left, his right hand resting upon a serpent-entwined staff (caduceus); on the right, the cult statue of Ephesian Artemis (Artemis Ephesia) is shown facing front in the canonical xoanon pose, adorned with multiple rows of bosses on the chest and a polos crown. The composition alludes to the religious identities of both cities — Asclepius being closely associated with Pergamum, and Artemis with Ephesus. A multi-line Greek legend surrounds the field, naming the presiding magistrate and the homonoia of the two cities.
