| Reverse description | An owl, rendered with closed wings and depicted in three-quarter frontal stance facing right, perches atop a horizontal olive-spray that extends across the lower field. To the right of the owl stands an upright club, a secondary device emblematic of Herakles and commonly employed as a magistrate's symbol on Tarentine coinage of this period. The Greek ethnic legend TAP, followed by ΙΟΡ, appears in the field to the lower right, identifying the issuing city of Taras. |
