| Reverse description | A tripod lebes depicted in profile at centre, with three loop handles and three legs terminating in lion's paw feet, a hallmark cultic symbol associated with Apollo and Delphic iconography. Above the tripod, a laurel branch extends horizontally across the upper field, while a long-handled sacrificial axe (pelekys) is placed vertically in the right field. The ethnic inscription ΦΙΛΙΠΠΩΝ appears in Greek letters, identifying the issuing city of Philippi, and the overall composition is rendered in the compact, emblematic style typical of early Macedonian civic coinage. |
