| Reverse description | Silenos depicted nude and ithyphallic, squatting in a three-quarter facing pose turned slightly to the right with his head turned back to the left, seated upon rocky ground. In his raised right hand he holds a kantharos lifted over his shoulder, while his left arm is extended forward holding a double aulos (pair of pipes). The figure is rendered with robust, rustic naturalism typical of Dionysiac iconography on Sicilian coinage of this period. The partial legend NAΞI-Ω appears in the field, abbreviating the ethnic of Naxos. |
