| Reverse description | Nude or lightly draped warrior on horseback advancing or galloping to the right, brandishing a spear or lance overhead in his right hand. The horse is rendered in vigorous motion with energetic, naturalistic musculature typical of Sicilian bronzes of this period. The ethnic legend TYNΔAPITAN is inscribed in two lines in the lower field, identifying the civic authority of Tyndaris. The composition is framed by a plain border, and the overall style reflects the vigorous Hellenistic tradition of Sicilian civic coinage. |
