| Reverse description | Apollo shown as a rider advancing on horseback to the right, holding a double axe (labrys) — an emblematic cult attribute closely associated with the sanctuary of Apollo Lairbenos at Hierapolis in Phrygia. The figure is rendered in a bold, slightly archaic provincial style. The circular Greek legend naming the local magistrate and city runs around the dotted border of the coin. |
