Note The same type of reverse as RPC III 2273, which, according to Robert, La Carie II, pp. 228-230, identifies the triad as an Amazon between Artemis and Demeter. However, according to R. Fleischer ('Ein Heiligtum für Apollo, Artemis und Leto bei Herakleia Salbake in Carien', Archäologischer Anzeiger 2000, 3, pp. 405-453), it is better to recognize Apollo Kareios, Artemis and Leto.
