| Reverse description | A large, finely detailed ear of barley or wheat occupies the centre of the field, depicted upright with clearly articulated grains and branching awns. A curved leaf or stem extends to the right, upon which a small owl perches, facing left with outstretched wings. To the left of the ear, the ethnic inscription ΛΟΥΚΑ is arranged vertically in Oscan-influenced Greek characters, reading downward. The composition closely parallels the civic types of Metapontion, reflecting the cultural and commercial milieu of Lucanian southern Italy during the Hannibalic period. |
