| Reverse description | The Trojan hero Aeneas shown in full stride walking to the right, head turned back to the left in a characteristic pietas pose. He carries his aged father Anchises upon his left shoulder, while leading his young son Ascanius by the hand with his right. The composition evokes the legendary flight from Troy and references the mythological foundation ties between Dardanus and the Trojan lineage. The ethnic legend ΔΑΡΔΑΝΕωΝ is disposed around the figure in the field, though worn. |
