| Beschrijving voorzijde | Head of Athena facing right, wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with an olive wreath and a flowing horsehair plume rendered with fine parallel engraved lines. The goddess's features are rendered in fine Classical style with a serene, idealized profile. The helmet visor is pushed back to reveal the face in detail, with carefully delineated hair curling beneath the helmet rim. The field is plain, with no encircling legend on this face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thourioi was founded in 444/3 BC as a pan-Hellenic colony on the site of destroyed Sybaris, with Athenian backing and — according to ancient sources — Herodotus among its early settlers. By the late fourth century, when this distater was struck, the city was navigating increasing pressure from the Lucanians and Bruttians who controlled the surrounding interior, a tension that would eventually pull Thourioi into alliance with Rome in 282 BC and precipitate the wider Pyrrhic conflict.
HN Italy 1809 places this issue among the later distater emissions, after the city's coinage had shed some of its earlier Athenian stylistic debt.
