| Reverse description | The infant hero Telephos kneels to the right, nursing from a doe standing to the left; the infant's head is turned back to face the viewer, evoking the mythological founding narrative of Tegea. The ethnic legend TEΓEA is inscribed in the field, identifying the issuing polis. The composition references the local Arkadian myth in which Telephos, son of Herakles and Auge, was suckled by a hind after being exposed on Mount Parthenion. |
