| Reverse description | Marsyas, the satyr of Phrygian mythology, depicted striding to the right upon a maeander pattern border, actively playing the double flute (aulos). The figure is rendered in lively, animated fashion with legs in motion, consistent with Hellenistic artistic conventions for this mythological subject. The Greek legend is disposed in two columns flanking the central figure, naming both the city of Apameia and the magistrate Antipatros. The maeander groundline below Marsyas serves as a decorative motif referencing the Maeander River, frequently associated with Phrygian iconography in civic coinage of the region. |
