| Reverse description | Zeus Labraundos depicted advancing on horseback to the right, his mantle billowing behind him in dynamic movement. The deity brandishes his distinctive cult attribute, the double-headed axe (labrys), held aloft in his right hand, a religious iconographic element closely associated with the sanctuary of Zeus Labraundos in Caria and the broader region of western Asia Minor. The composition is vigorous and characteristic of the provincial bronze coinage of the Lydian conventus, with the surrounding field carrying the archon's name legend. The reverse type reflects the syncretism of local Anatolian cult imagery within the Roman provincial numismatic tradition. |
