| Beschrijving keerzijde | Nike, the goddess of victory, standing right with her right foot resting upon a globe, holding an inscribed shield attached to a tall palm tree and preparing to write upon it. The composition is a well-known Ephesian type celebrating the city's neocorate status. The legend surrounding the scene proclaims the double neocorate honour bestowed upon Ephesus. The palm tree and globe together symbolise universal victory and divine favour. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ephesus held the title of neokoros — temple warden of the imperial cult — twice by the Severan period, a distinction fiercely competed among the great cities of Asia Minor and conferred by the Roman Senate. The inscription ΔΙϹ ΝΕΟΚΟΡΩΝ advertises exactly that dual status, a civic boast tied directly to the political maneuvering Ephesus undertook during Severus's consolidation of power after the civil wars of 193.
The conventus of Ephesus was the administrative and judicial hub of the Asia province, giving its mint unusual output volume under the Severans.
