| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central cult statue of Artemis Ephesia standing on a raised base, facing, crowned with a kalathos and adorned with the characteristic multiple supports or brackets at the sides; flanked by two togate emperors, identified as Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, each standing and facing the cult image, each holding a patera extended over a lighted altar placed between himself and the goddess. The composition emphasises the imperial veneration of the great goddess of Ephesus. The encircling legend proclaims Ephesus as twice-neokoros and first of Asia. |

The title ΠΡΩΤΩΝ ΑϹΙΑϹ — "first of Asia" — was not ceremonial shorthand. Ephesus fought bitterly with Smyrna and Pergamon for precedence within the koinon of Asia, and the neokorate titles (ΔΙϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΟϹ, twice temple warden) reflect real grants from Rome, each won through political lobbying, embassy to the emperor, and competitive civic expenditure. The dating to 161–165 places this issue within the first years of Marcus Aurelius's reign, when provincial cities rushed to celebrate a new emperor with fresh bronze coinage bearing updated honorifics.
