| Reverse description | Apollo shown standing, facing the viewer with head turned to the right, wearing a chlamys draped over his shoulders and a quiver slung at his shoulder, his bow drawn as he takes aim at a serpent rearing erect before him on the left. The scene alludes to the Apolline myth of the slaying of the Python and reflects the god's role as a divine archer and protector. The reverse legend, arranged in the field, proclaims the neocorate status of Hierapolis, indicating the city's honour of maintaining an imperially sanctioned temple cult. |
