| Beschrijving keerzijde | The eponymous hero Phalanthos, the mythical founder of Taras, depicted riding a dolphin to the left, holding a trident in his right hand and a kantharos in his left. A female head appears in the right field, likely representing a local deity or nymph. The ethnic inscription TAΡAΣ arcs around the design, identifying the issuing city. The reverse displays the characteristic Tarentine iconography that remained a hallmark of the city's coinage throughout its long minting tradition. |

By the time this nomos was struck, Tarentum had already gambled its independence on Pyrrhus of Epirus and lost. The city capitulated to Rome in 272 BC — the very opening of this issue's date range — and the continued minting of autonomous silver coinage under Roman domination was a practical concession rather than a sign of freedom. Rome permitted local issues in the Greek south as long as they didn't interfere with Roman monetary needs.
Aristocles is known as a magistrate name appearing across the Vlasto sequence in this bracket, with dies documented through Vlasto 877–882 showing progressive deterioration consistent with a long production run.
