Although the main Pythian Games were held at Apollo's sanctuary at Delphi, many other cities in the east of the Roman Empire periodically held smaller versions of this event. Often such events were associated with other deities, based on the important civic cults of each city. At Heliopolis, the site of a massive temple complex dedicated to Jupiter-Zeus-Baal-Hadad, Venus-Aphrodite-Astarte, and Bacchus-Dionysus, these games were known as the Certamina Sacra Capitolia Oecumenica Iselastica Heliopolitan, as noted on the reverse of the coin. -
