| Reverse description | A nude or lightly draped horseman gallops vigorously to the left atop a powerful horse, the animal's forelegs raised in a dynamic pose. The rider holds the reins and a weapon, conveying martial energy typical of Italic coinage of this period. In the exergue below the groundline appear two Greek letters serving as a magistrate's monogram or control mark (ΡΟ on some specimens), with the full ethnic legend ΝΕΟΠΟΛΙΤΩΝ inscribed beneath in a single line of clear Greek characters. The composition closely parallels the reverse type used on Neapolitan silver didrachms, reflecting civic pride in the city's equestrian traditions. The overall style is competent provincial Greek work consistent with Campanian bronze issues of circa 250–225 BC. |
