Reverse description Hecate triformis depicted standing facing, rendered as a triple-bodied goddess with three heads and six arms, a type closely associated with chthonic and liminal cult worship in Pamphylian coinage. The central figure is shown frontally with lateral figures flanking her, each holding attributes characteristic of Hecate's iconography, including torches. The ethnic legend ΑϹΠΕΝΔΙΩΝ is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing city of Aspendus. The composition reflects a well-established reversal type employed by the civic mint of Aspendus during the third century AD.
