| 裏面の説明 | Two Dioskouroi piloi (conical felt caps surmounted by stars) arranged symmetrically on either side of a central pair of crossed tridents or staffs, all within a wreath of olive or laurel branches. The composition is a distinctly Lakedaimonian type, referencing the divine twin patrons Kastor and Polydeukes. A monogram or magistrate's symbol appears in the lower field. The design is crisply struck within a beaded or plain border. |

Sparta's coinage history is one of the strangest in the Greek world — the classical city famously prohibited precious metal coinage for centuries, relying instead on iron spits. When silver issues finally appeared under Roman dominance, they were products of a city performing its own mythology rather than a functioning monetary economy. This hemidrachm dates to the period when Sparta, stripped of real power, leaned aggressively into its Lycurgan identity as a cultural brand acceptable to Roman tastes.
BCD 865.2 places this piece within a closely documented sequence from the BCD collection sale, one of the defining reference points for Peloponnesian bronze and silver of the Achaean and post-Achaean periods.
