| Reverse description | Hades, shown as a bearded male figure, standing in a galloping biga driven to the right, forcibly abducting Persephone in a dynamic composition referencing the mythological Rape of Persephone. The horses are rendered at full gallop with legs extended, conveying vigorous motion. The scene, executed in the provincial Greek artistic tradition, occupies the full reverse field, with the magistrate's legend distributed around the periphery identifying the issuing civic authority of Silandus. |
