| Reverse description | Forepart of a man-headed bull striding to the right, the bovine body rendered with muscular detail and the human head turned to face the viewer in three-quarter perspective, bearing short hair and a beard. A star of four rays is prominently placed on the bull's shoulder, serving as a divine or civic symbol. The ethnic legend ΝΕΟΠΟΛΙΤΗΣ is inscribed above in Greek characters, identifying the issuing city of Neapolis. The composition reflects the iconic Campanian iconography of the river god Acheloos in his hybrid form. |
