| Reverse description | Zeus, the supreme deity of the Greek pantheon, depicted standing to the left in full figure, his weight distributed in a composed, frontal stance. In his extended right hand he holds a patera for libation, while his left hand rests upon a tall sceptre. The god is rendered in the classical tradition consistent with the iconography of civic coinage from Phrygia. A multi-line Greek legend surrounding the figure records the name and title of the local magistrate responsible for the issue, emphasizing the civic pride of the Cadian community. |
