| Reverse description | Hades (Pluto) and Kore-Persephone, the divine pair of the underworld, depicted seated together in a quadriga drawn by four horses galloping to the right. Hades holds a sceptre or torch, and Kore-Persephone is shown beside him in flowing drapery, referencing the mythological abduction and the local Lydian cult significance of the myth. The scene is rendered with dynamic movement, the horses at full gallop filling the lower field. The ethnic and abbreviated civic magistrate legend is distributed across the field and border, within a beaded border. |
