| Reverse description | Two standing figures occupy the reverse field: to the left, a male figure in a short chiton stands facing right, holding a double axe (labrys) and a spear, with a lion (or similar feline) at his feet, likely representing a local Carian deity or heroic figure; to the right, Zeus stands facing, head turned to the left, clad in chiton and himation, holding a long sceptre in his left hand, with an eagle perched at his feet. The composition is typical of honorific provincial issues attributing civic prestige through divine imagery. The magistrate's name and civic ethnic appear in the field and border as the reverse legend. |
