| Reverse description | Athena seated left upon a rocky outcrop, her bust turned to the right as she plays a double flute (aulos), with a shield positioned beside her; her reflection is depicted in the waters of the Aulokrene (Flute Spring), referencing the local Apamean myth. In the upper left field, the figure of Marsyas is shown emerging from behind rocks, observing the scene. This reverse type is a celebrated and iconographically distinctive issue of Apamea in Phrygia, commemorating the mythological origin of the Aulokrene spring. The legend encircles the scene, naming the panegyriarch responsible for the issue. |
