| Beschrijving keerzijde | Homonoia type reverse depicting two civic cult divinities in confronted arrangement. To the left, Apollo stands facing right, holding a plectrum in his right hand and a lyre in his left, representing the patron deity of Hierapolis. To the right, the celebrated cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus (Artemis Ephesia) stands frontally, wearing the kalathos upon her head, adorned with multiple supports or pendants on the torso, and flanked by two stags at her sides. The reverse legend, reading ΙΕΡΑΠΟΛΕΙΤΩΝ ΕΦΕϹΙΩΝ ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ, proclaims the concord (homonoia) between Hierapolis and Ephesus. |

The ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ ("homonoia") coinage between Hierapolis and Ephesus belongs to a well-documented phenomenon in the Greek East whereby rival cities negotiated formal concordat agreements, often to resolve disputes over temple precedence, trade routes, or the ranking of civic titles. Hierapolis, positioned along the Lycus valley road, competed aggressively for neokorate status and commercial standing throughout the Antonine and Severan periods. These alliance coins were the public face of such diplomacy — struck in large bronzes precisely because visibility mattered.
The pairing with Ephesus, the most powerful city in Asia Minor, signals that Hierapolis was the junior partner in this arrangement.
