| Reverse description | The youthful, nude figure of Taras, the mythical founder of Tarentum and son of Poseidon, is depicted riding a dolphin to the left. He holds a kantharos or trident in his raised right hand and a round shield adorned with an ornamental device, possibly a triskelion, in his left hand. A small symbol appears in the lower field. The magistrate's monogram is visible in the upper left field, and the ethnic legend ΦΙ ΤΑΡΑΣ is inscribed in the field, identifying the city of Taras. |
