| Reverse description | Two deities stand facing one another in the field: at left, Athena stands facing with head turned to the right, holding a spear in her right hand and resting her left arm upon a large round shield set at her feet; at right, Dionysus stands facing with head turned to the left, holding a long thyrsus in his left hand and extending a cantharus in his right hand over a panther crouching at his feet. The pairing of Athena and Dionysus reflects the civic and religious identity of Methymna on Lesbos. The encircling Greek legend names the local magistrate and the issuing city. |
