| Reverse description | Phalanthos, the mythological Spartan oikist of Tarentum, seated astride a dolphin leaping to left; in his outstretched right hand he holds a kantharos, while his left hand grasps a trident, emblems of maritime dominion. The composition is executed in the vigorous, finely detailed style typical of Tarentine die-cutters of the Pyrrhic War period. The ethnic ΤΑΡΑΣ appears in the field, accompanied by the magistrate's initials ΘΙ to the left and B to the right, identifying the responsible monetary officials. |
