| Reverse description | The Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, depicted as twin horsemen galloping to the right, each wearing the characteristic pileus (conical caps) with stars above, enclosed within a laurel wreath border. The figures are rendered in the vigorous Hellenistic equestrian style typical of Laconian civic bronzes. The magistrate legend ΕΠΙ ΕΥΡΥΚΛΕΟΣ appears below the horses, and the ethnic abbreviation ΛΑ is placed within the field, denoting the Lacedaemonians. |
