| Reverse description | An elaborate architectural composition depicting a large tetrastyle temple at centre, its four columns framing a cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus standing facing, wearing the kalathos and adorned with her characteristic supports. Flanking the central temple, two smaller distyle temples are shown in perspective, each enclosing a standing figure of an emperor holding a sceptre. The reverse legend in Greek is distributed across the field, asserting Ephesus's prestigious status as first city of Asia. The overall design reflects the civic pride and religious importance of Ephesus as the preeminent city of the Asian conventus. |
