Note |
The interpretation of the reverse design is uncertain. The identification of the figure seems plausible as a quiver does seem definite. The corroded area on the left of the reverse looks like a horse, perhaps suggesting Artemis is in a biga; on the other hand, there does seem to be a ground line beneath her legs (and feet?), suggesting that it is a standing figure. There is something to the left of the smaller figure (R. Abdy and S. Moorhead suggest perhaps the top of the arches of the aqueduct).
