| Reverse description | Nude Dionysos standing to left, his chlamys draped over his raised left arm; he holds a bunch of grapes in his extended right hand and a narthex (giant fennel) stalk in his left. To the left field, a control monogram. The encircling legend ΔΙΟΝΥΣΟΥ ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ ΜΑΡΩΝΙΤΩΝ — 'of Dionysos Soter of the Maronites' — runs around the design in bold Greek characters, proclaiming the civic and religious identity of the issuing city. The composition follows the well-established Maroneian iconographic tradition, presenting Dionysos as both civic deity and savior of the polis. |
