| Reverse description | The mythological founder Phalanthos, nude, astride a dolphin swimming to the left, holding a kantharos in one hand and a distaff in the other. An amphora appears in the left field behind the figure. The partial magistrate inscription ΔΙ appears in the field alongside the ethnic legend ΤΑΡΑΣ, identifying the issuing city. The scene reflects the founding myth of Tarentum and is rendered in the refined style characteristic of the late Tarentine silver coinage. |
