| Reverse description | Hecate, the chthonic deity closely associated with Stratonicea, stands facing with head turned to the left, wearing a kalathos (basket crown) atop her head. She holds a patera in her right hand and a lighted torch in her left, with a flaming altar placed at her feet before her. The reverse legend in Greek runs around the periphery of the field, naming the local magistrate Philon and identifying the civic authority of the Stratoniceans. |
