| Reverse description | A monumental tripartite temple façade is depicted, with the central temple shown frontally and the flanking temples rendered in perspective to convey architectural depth. Each temple shelters a cult statue of a standing figure holding a spear or sceptre, referencing the neokorate status of Laodicea ad Lycum. The reverse type celebrates the city's triple temple honours, a rare and prestigious distinction. The legend ΛΑΟΔΙΚΕΩΝ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ ΤΟ ΠΗ distributed around the field identifies the city of the Laodiceans as thrice neokoros, with ΤΟ ΠΗ indicating the civic era date corresponding to 216-217 AD. |
