| Obverse description | A nude or lightly draped warrior is depicted seated side-saddle on a horse rearing to the left, his left arm bearing a small round shield. The magistrate's abbreviated name EY appears in the left field behind the rider, while the legend NIKΩTTAΣ is inscribed below the horse, identifying the nomophylax or issuing magistrate. The composition reflects the characteristic Tarentine equestrian iconography associated with the city's aristocratic cavalry tradition. The style is bold and accomplished, consistent with the high-quality die work of the Tarentine mint in the early third century BC. |
