| 背面描述 | Homonoia type depicting two divine figures associated with the cities of Hierapolis and Ephesus. To the left, Apollo stands facing right, holding a plectrum in his right hand and a lyre in his left, representing Hierapolis. To the right, the cult statue of Artemis of Ephesus (Ephesia) stands frontally, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical crown) atop her head and flanked by supporting lateral appendages characteristic of the archaic idol type. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, proclaims the homonoia (concord) between the Hierapolitans and the Ephesians. |

Homonoia coinage — struck to celebrate concord between two cities — was as much a political instrument as a civic one. The alliance between Hierapolis in Phrygia and Ephesus, one of the most powerful cities in Roman Asia Minor, was a calculated pairing: Hierapolis leveraged proximity to the great sanctuary of Apollo at Didyma's sphere of influence, while Ephesus brought the prestige of its status as the provincial capital of Asia. These joint issues required negotiation between civic magistrates and were expensive to produce, which is why surviving examples tend to cluster in larger module bronzes like this one.
The issue falls within the co-reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, the first time Rome had operated under two simultaneous Augusti.
