Reverse description Frontal cult statue of Diana Ephesia (Artemis of Ephesus) depicted in the hieratic orientalizing style, standing erect upon a low rectangular base or podium. The idol is rendered in the distinctive multi-breasted or decorated torso convention associated with the great Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, with the figure's body tightly swathed in a columnar garment adorned with symbolic ornaments. The arms are extended horizontally in the archaic xoanon pose. The encircling legend DIANA EPHESIA frames the design, emphasizing the religious and civic significance of the Ephesian sanctuary within the Roman imperial context.
