| Reverse description | Confronted scene depicting Septimius Severus, togate, standing left, facing a second togate figure — likely Caracalla — standing right; both extend patera offerings over a flaming altar positioned between them. Rising prominently in the background between the two figures stands the cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus in her characteristic frontal, polymastic form with supports at her sides. The composition underscores the imperial family's piety and their special relationship with the celebrated Ephesian sanctuary. The encircling Greek legend proclaims Ephesus' dual neocorate honor and its primacy among the cities of Asia. |
