| Reverse description | Hadad (Zeus of Heliopolis) standing facing, clad in long robes and wearing a kalathos (cylindrical cult headdress) upon his head. He holds a whip or goad in his raised right hand and a corn ear in his extended left hand, symbolizing fertility and divine authority. The deity is flanked on either side by a bull, the sacred animals associated with the Semitic storm god. A Greek civic legend in the field identifies the issuing city of Eleutheropolis. |
