| Reverse description | Two standing female figures face left in the reverse field: the city goddess Phocaea and the Phrygian mother goddess Cybele, each holding a patera and a tympanum. At the feet of Cybele, two lions are depicted in reclining or attendant postures, alluding to her traditional leonine attribute. The composition reflects the civic and religious identity of Phocaea, associating the local personification with the pre-eminent Anatolian deity. The reverse legend in Greek characters, distributed around the field, records the name and second tenure of the strategos Aurelius Eutyches, the issuing magistrate, along with the ethnic of the Phocaeans. |
