| Reverse description | Taras, the eponymous founder and city god of Tarentum, depicted riding a dolphin to the left. He holds a trident in his left hand and extends his right arm to receive a wreath offered by Nike, the winged goddess of victory, whom he carries. A bunch of grapes appears in the field behind him, serving as a secondary symbol. The composition is rendered in the refined style of the later Tarentine nomos series, with the figures arranged with dynamic fluidity across the flan. |
