| Reverse description | A dog or wolf standing to the left in profile, rendered with naturalistic musculature and a raised head, set upon a ground line. Below the ground line, in the exergue, appears the Greek ethnic legend KATANAIΩN (Katanaiōn), partially visible and partially worn, identifying the civic authority of Katane. The composition is bold and compact, characteristic of Sicilian bronze coinage of the late 4th century BC, and reflects the Campanian mercenary occupation of the city under Timoleon's Sicilian campaigns. |
