| Reverse description | A dynamic equestrian scene depicts Apollo-Mên mounted on horseback moving to the right, holding a patera in one hand and bearing a double axe (labrys) over the shoulder — a syncretic fusion of the Greek Apollo and the Anatolian lunar deity Mên. The horse is led by Hermes, shown standing to the left and holding his caduceus, serving as divine escort. The composition reflects the rich religious syncretism characteristic of Lydian civic coinage under Roman rule. A two-line Greek inscription in the exergue and field records the name of the presiding archon and the civic ethnic of Blaundus with its Macedonian designation. |
