| Reverse description | A prize table is depicted supporting two inscribed agonistic crowns, each adorned with a palm branch; below the table stand two large amphora-shaped prize vases. The composition is a standard type associated with the celebration of the city's sacred games and its neocorate status. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, identifies the issuing city and its prestigious festival titles. The design is characteristic of civic bronze coinage from Hierapolis in Phrygia during the reign of Elagabalus, emphasizing the city's religious and agonistic prestige. |
