| Obverse description | Bearded male head in right profile, identified as the hero Leukippos, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head to reveal the face. The beard is rendered with fine, curling locks in high relief, and the cheekpiece of the helmet frames the face with characteristic Lucanian artistic refinement. A small lion's head device appears before the chin in the left field, serving as a magistrate's symbol or control mark. The portrait is executed with vigorous artistry typical of the finest South Italian die-engravers of the mid-fourth century BC. |
