| Reverse description | The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, depicted as mounted horsemen galloping to the right, each figure holding a long spear horizontally. The twin deities are shown in dynamic motion on their horses, a type strongly associated with Lacedaemon (Sparta), reflecting the city's veneration of the Dioscuri as divine patrons. A partially preserved Greek legend appears in the field and exergue, with the surface heavily worn and encrusted consistent with long circulation. |
