| Beschrijving keerzijde | A tetrastyle temple with four columns depicted in elevation, enclosing a standing figure of Macrinus to the left within the cella. In the lower central field, an altar and a humped sacrificial bull (Zebu) are shown. Flanking the temple on each side stand attendant figures with raised right arms in a gesture of salutation or ritual acclamation. The temple pediment bears the dedicatory inscription ΒΩΤΑ, referencing votive offerings. The composition reflects Ephesus's proud status as neokoros and first city of Asia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Macrinus ruled for just fourteen months before being defeated by the forces of Elagabalus at the Battle of Antioch in June 218 — making coins struck in his name at any eastern mint among the shorter-lived imperial provincial issues. Ephesus, as the dominant city of the Asian province, asserted its primacy through the title ΠΡΩΤΩΝ ΑϹΙΑϹ, a claim that was fiercely contested by Smyrna and Pergamon and occasionally arbitrated by Rome itself.
The ΒΩΤΑ inscription on the pediment denotes the magistrate responsible for the issue, a bouleutes whose abbreviated name appears across only a handful of known dies from this reign.
