| Reverse description | Central field occupied by a knobbly Heraklean club positioned vertically and, to its right, a bowcase (gorytos) with a quiver, both rendered in detailed relief characteristic of the Rhodian drachm type adopted by Erythrai. To the left of the club, an owl stands facing left or right with head facing front, serving as a civic symbol. The two-line Greek legend, reading EPY above and ΔΙΟΠΕΙΘΗΣ below, is arranged vertically alongside the central devices, identifying the city of Erythrai and the magistrate Diopeithes. |
