| Reverse description | A confronted divine pair fills the reverse field: to the left, Selene stands facing right, holding a torch in each hand with her right arm raised and left lowered, a crescent visible behind her shoulders as her divine attribute. To the right, Helios stands facing, his head turned to the left, nude but for a chlamys draped over his shoulders, wearing a radiate crown, and holding a torch in each hand with his right arm lowered and left raised, his pose mirroring that of Selene. The encircling legend names the deities and the issuing city: Ε ΓΡ ΠΟ ΗΛΙΟϹ ϹΕΛΗΝΗ ΤΡΑΛΛΙΑΝΩΝ, reflecting the religious and civic pride of Tralles in Lydia. |
