| Reverse description | Aphrodite Kastneia standing left in full figure, holding a dove in her outstretched hand and leaning with her other arm upon a tall column. To the left, the winged figure of Eros stands facing right, reaching upward toward the dove. The civic legend MHTPOΠOΛΙTΩN is disposed around the type, identifying the issuing city of Metropolis in Thessaly. The composition reflects the local cult of Aphrodite Kastneia, a deity particularly venerated in this polis. |
