| Obverse description | Cow standing right, head turned back, suckling a calf beneath her body; the calf facing left in a lively, naturalistic pose. Above, the magistrate's name ΑΛΚΑΙΟΣ inscribed in the upper field in Greek letters. A star appears in the exergue below the ground line. The composition exemplifies the characteristic Dyrrachian style, with fine rendering of the animals in high relief. |
