| Reverse description | Dionysus stands facing right, leaning with his left arm upon a small column, and extends a cantharus downward toward a panther crouching at his feet to the left, the panther looking back. To the right stands an Amazon facing left, holding a pelta (crescent shield) and a double axe (labrys), and pouring a patera over a small lighted altar placed at her feet. The composition is a complex mythological grouping typical of the ambitious reverse types struck for the civic coinage of Myrina under the strategos Iour— Phregellanos. The encircling Greek legend names the issuing city and magistrate. The scene is rendered in the competent but somewhat provincial style characteristic of the Conventus of Smyrna in the early third century AD. |
