| Beschrijving keerzijde | The goddess Leto advances to the left with head turned right, a large billowing veil arching dramatically over her figure; she cradles in her arms the infant deities Apollo and Artemis, referencing her mythological role as divine mother. To her left stands Zeus, facing left, holding an eagle in his outstretched right hand and a long sceptre in his left. The composition alludes to the Homonoia (Concord) between Tripolis and Laodicea, both cities being neocorate holders, and is rendered in the fluid, deeply struck style typical of the Sardis conventus workshop under Philip I. The two-part Greek legend encircles the reverse field, divided above and below the figural group. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin commemorates a homonoia — a formal alliance of civic harmony — between Tripolis and Laodicea, two neighboring cities in the Lydian interior that shared the rare distinction of holding neokorate status, meaning each had been granted the right to maintain an imperial cult temple. The joint issue was struck under Philip I, whose reign was largely consumed by the aftermath of negotiating Rome's withdrawal from the Persian frontier and managing the treasury shortfall that followed.
Homonoia issues between Laodicea and Tripolis are documented in only a handful of reverse types, making specimens of any condition scarce in the market.
