| Beschrijving keerzijde | Taras, the mythical founder of the city, depicted nude and riding a dolphin to the left, his body shown in a dynamic twisting posture; he holds a circular shield on his left arm and a weapon in his raised right hand. The ethnic legend ΤΑΡΑΣ appears in the field along with the magistrate's control mark ΦΙ. The reverse type alludes to the foundation myth of Taras, son of Poseidon, who was said to have been saved from shipwreck by a dolphin, a motif central to Tarentine civic identity and coinage throughout the Classical and Hellenistic periods. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tarentum's nomos coinage of this period reflects the city's increasingly desperate military situation. Facing pressure from the Lucanians and Messapians, Tarentum repeatedly hired foreign commanders — Archidamus of Sparta, Alexander of Epirus, Cleonymus — to defend its territory throughout the late fourth and early third centuries. The issues bracketed by 302–281 BC fall precisely in the years leading up to the invitation extended to Pyrrhus of Epirus, the gamble that would define the city's final decades of independence.
