Reverse description Central cult statue of Artemis Ephesia (Ephesian Artemis) standing facing on a raised base, wearing a kalathos (cylindrical crown) and adorned with her characteristic supports; a crescent appears to the left of the figure and a star to the right, identifying her cosmic associations. Flanking the goddess, two togate emperors — Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus — stand facing one another, each extending a patera over a lighted altar, in a scene of imperial sacrifice. The reverse legend in Greek, partially tooled, proclaims Ephesus as twice neokoros and first of Asia, encircling the composition.
