| Obverse description | Nude youth riding on horseback to the right, wearing a crested helmet and holding two spears in his left hand while extending his right arm forward; a second horse strides alongside to the left, its head turned outward. The composition reflects the Tarentine tradition of depicting the dioskouroi or armed horsemen in dynamic, high-relief style. The flan is broad and irregularly shaped, characteristic of South Italian hammered coinage of this period. The magistrate's name ΣΩΔΑΜΟΣ appears in the field, identifying the issuing magistrate responsible for this emission. |
