| Reverse description | Mythological scene set within an open field: to the left, Hebe stands facing right, extending her left hand in a gesture of offering; to the right, turreted Hera is seated facing left, holding a pomegranate in one hand and a long sceptre in the other, her turreted crown identifying her as the divine patroness of Argos. Between the two figures, a peacock stands frontally, its presence as Hera's sacred bird reinforcing the divine iconographic programme. The ethnic legend ΑΡΓΕΙωΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The composition reflects the strong civic and religious identity of Argos as a centre of the Hera cult. |
