| Reverse description | Homonoia type depicting two cult figures clasping hands in the center of the field, symbolizing the concord between Cibyra and Hierapolis. To the left, Thea Pisidike stands facing right, veiled and supporting a wicker kalathos (basket) upon her head. To the right, Apollo of Hierapolis stands facing left, holding a lyre. The reverse legend, arranged around the field, identifies the strategos Philippokles and names both civic communities, referencing the homonoia alliance. The design is executed in the bold, high-relief style characteristic of larger Antonine provincial bronzes. |
