| Reverse description | Elaborate temple facade with four columns depicted in frontal view, enclosing a cult statue of Roma standing and holding a shield and spear; flanking the central temple on each side is an additional temple rendered in three-quarter perspective, creating a monumental triple-temple composition emblematic of Smyrna's neocorate status. The reverse legend in Greek characters fills the field around the architectural group, referencing the city's triple neocorate and its primacy in Asia under the strategos Gaius Julius Menekles. |
