| Reverse description | Cybele, the Anatolian mother goddess, is enthroned in left-facing seated pose upon an ornate throne, holding a patera in her right hand and resting her left elbow upon a tympanum. Two lions, her sacred animals, are depicted at her feet, both facing left. The reverse legend, arranged in the field around the central type, records the issuing magistrate and civic ethnic in Greek, reflecting the strong local cult of Cybele at Magnesia ad Sipylum. |
