| Reverse description | Standing draped figure, likely a deity or personification associated with Hierapolis, depicted facing front with head turned slightly. The figure holds a long staff or sceptre in the left hand and what appears to be a patera or small object in the right hand. The encircling Greek legend names the city and the local magistrate responsible for the issue. The design is executed in the characteristic provincial style of Phrygia, with somewhat stylised but recognisable figural rendering. The field shows light wear with green patination throughout. |
