| Reverse description | A kithara (lyre) depicted facing, with seven strings and a distinctive resonating body, rendered in careful relief at the center of the field. A palm tree branch rises prominently to the right of the kithara, serving as a symbol of Apollo. The magistrate's name EPAΣINIΔHΣ is inscribed vertically along the left field, while the civic abbreviation ΚΟ (for Kolophon) appears in the lower exergual area beneath the kithara. The composition is balanced and characteristic of the autonomous bronze issues of Kolophon from the late fourth to early third century BC. |
