| Reverse description | A triad of healing divinities occupies the reverse field: Hygieia stands to the right, extending a patera to feed a serpent coiling upward before her, while Asclepius stands facing at left, head turned to the right, leaning upon his serpent-entwined staff. Between the two principal figures, the diminutive chthonic deity Telesphorus stands frontally, his characteristic hooded cloak rendered in the local Lydian provincial style. The composition reflects the prominence of the healing cult in the civic and religious life of Saitta. The magistrate's legend and ethnic are distributed around the field. |
