| Reverse description | A horse advances to the right in a grazing posture, its head lowered toward the ground, evoking the celebrated sacred horses associated with the Troad region. In the background, a herdsman stands to the right holding a pedum (shepherd's crook), and a tree is depicted behind him, lending the composition a pastoral, landscape quality distinctive of Alexandrian Troadic coinage. The abbreviated colonial legend appears in the field, identifying the issuing city. The reverse type alludes to the Homeric tradition of the horse-breeding plains of the Troad. |
