| Reverse description | Dionysus standing left in a relaxed contrapposto pose, holding a cantharus (drinking cup) in his extended right hand and leaning with his left arm upon a thyrsus; to the left in the lower field, a panther is depicted looking back toward the deity, a standard Dionysiac attribute. The composition reflects the Hellenistic iconographic tradition of the wine god widely adopted in Asia Minor provincial coinage. The encircling Greek legend in the field names the presiding magistrate and the issuing city. |
