| Reverse description | Artemis, the divine huntress, depicted riding to the right in a biga drawn by two galloping stags, her body turned slightly as she draws an arrow from the quiver at her shoulder while holding her bow in the opposite hand. A boar is shown at the right of the composition, likely referencing a hunt scene or local cultic tradition associated with the goddess at Colossae. The reverse legend, arranged in the field and exergue, records the dedication by a local magistrate in Greek script. The overall composition is vigorous and dynamic, reflecting the Hellenistic artistic heritage of the Phrygian civic coinage tradition. |
