| Obverse description | Nude youth on horseback galloping to right, raising his right hand to crown himself with a wreath; the horse is depicted in a lively prancing pose. The magistrate's inscription ZΩ appears above in the left field, with ZAΛO below along the groundline. A Doric column capital is prominently placed in the exergue, serving as a civic emblem of Taras. The composition reflects the refined style of South Italian Greek die-engraving of the early third century BC. |
