| Reverse description | Two heroic warriors, tentatively identified as the mythological founders Erythros and Knopos, stand facing one another with each placing one foot upon a ship's prow, evoking the maritime heritage of Erythrae. The left figure holds a spear and shield, while the right figure holds a spear and sword. The composition is executed in a bold provincial style, the figures rendered with dynamic contrapposto, reflecting a local mythological tradition celebrating the city's legendary origins. The reverse legend names the strategos Lysimachos and abbreviates the city's ethnic identifier. |
