| Reverse description | The cult statue of Hera Samia depicted facing, standing in a rigid, archaic xoanon-like posture, robed in a long chiton, flanked by lateral supports or poles characteristic of the famous cult image housed in the Heraion of Samos. The figure stands centrally within the field, with the ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ inscribed to the right. The reverse type reflects the deep religious and civic pride of the Samians in their patron goddess and her celebrated sanctuary. |
