| Reverse description | Hades, standing and driving a galloping quadriga to the right, depicted in the act of abducting Persephone, who struggles against his grasp. Beneath the hooves of the four horses, a kalathos (ritual basket) is visible, filled with poppies and ears of grain — attributes symbolizing the chthonic and agricultural aspects of the Eleusinian myth. The scene references the myth of the Rape of Persephone, rendered with dynamic composition and narrative detail. The reverse legend names the strategos Flavius Pyramus in his second term of office and identifies the issuing city of Elaea. |
