| Reverse description | A dolphin depicted in dynamic motion, arching to the left with its body curving upward and its tail fin swept elegantly behind. A youth or figure is shown riding astride the dolphin, grasping its dorsal area, rendered with fluid, impressionistic strokes typical of small-denomination Tarentine silver. The Greek letter epsilon (E), serving as a value or magistrate mark, appears in the lower right field. The composition is energetic and characteristic of the prolific dolphin-rider iconography for which Tarentum is renowned in ancient numismatics. |
