| Reverse description | Two serpents rise from the lower field and coil symmetrically around a central bow case (gorytos), their heads confronting one another at the top. To the left of the bow case appears the civic abbreviation ΛΑΟ, identifying the issuing city of Laodicea. A winged kerykeion (caduceus) is positioned to the right. Between the serpents' heads, the name of the responsible magistrate is inscribed — in this case ΦΑϹΙϹ (Phasis). The reverse type is consistent with the standard cistophoric tetradrachm series and follows established Hellenistic compositional conventions. |
