| Reverse description | The cult statue of Artemis Ephesia stands frontally at centre, wearing the kalathos (polos crown) and the characteristic multi-breasted or egg-draped torso, her body enclosed by lateral supports or stags in the typical hieratic pose of the sacred idol of Ephesus. Flanking the goddess are the two reclining river-gods of the Ephesian region: Kaystros to the left and Kenchrios to the right, each semi-recumbent, facing inward toward the central figure, holding a reed and resting upon a water-urn from which water flows. The reverse legend in Greek encircling the composition proclaims Ephesus as a twice-neokorate city, emphasising its prestigious status as twice temple-warden of the imperial cult. The composition is a celebrated type of Ephesian civic coinage, showcasing the city's most sacred religious and geographic symbols in a formally balanced, hieratic arrangement. |
