| Reverse description | Taras, the eponymous founder of Tarentum, depicted nude and seated astride a dolphin leaping to the left; he holds a kantharos in his extended left hand and an upright trident in his right. To the right of the central figure, a monogram formed by the letters APE appears within the curve of the dolphin's tail. The ethnic ΤΑΡΑΣ is inscribed in Greek letters in the lower field, with an additional small star or control mark visible in the exergue. The rendering of the figure is refined and athletic, consistent with the high-quality die engraving of late Tarentine silver coinage. |
