| Reverse description | Antiphemos, the mythological founder of Gela, depicted standing and facing right, holding a sword in his raised right hand, preparing to sacrifice a ram that leaps rightward before him. The scene references the founding myth of the city and is rendered in a dynamic, narrative composition characteristic of Hellenistic Sicilian bronze issues. A Greek inscription appears to the left of the central device. The figures are in moderate relief with visible wear consistent with circulation use. |
