| Reversbeschreibung | A richly detailed high-relief composition commemorating the Battle of Salamis (480 BC), depicting a dramatic naval engagement scene. In the foreground, a helmeted Greek hoplite draws a bow from the prow of a trireme, while oars of opposing warships fill the lower field. The middle ground shows clashing vessels with broken masts and armed warriors engaged in combat, and a map of the Salamis straits provides geographic context in the background. To the upper left, an Ionic column with a Persian winged-bull protome evokes the cultural clash between Greece and Persia. The inscription 'BITKA PRI SALAMÍNE' arcs across the upper field in bold raised lettering, with the engraver's initials 'BR' visible in the lower right field. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Battle of Salamis in 480 BC was less a naval engagement than a deliberate trap. Themistocles, the Athenian commander, sent a secret message to the Persian king Xerxes urging an immediate attack — falsely claiming the Greek fleet was about to scatter. Xerxes took the bait and committed his numerically superior fleet into the narrow straits where its advantage was neutralized entirely. The Persian fleet lost somewhere between 200 and 300 triremes in a single afternoon.
