| Reverse description | Taras, the youthful oikist and eponymous founder of the city, depicted nude and riding a dolphin to left in the canonical Tarentine type. He holds a kantharos in his right hand and a distaff in his left; beneath the dolphin, a feeding gazelle is depicted in the exergual field. The secondary magistrate's abbreviation ΙΟΡ appears below, alongside the ethnic ΤΑΡΑΣ, identifying the city of issue. The composition reflects the mythological tradition of Taras, son of Poseidon, saved from shipwreck by a dolphin. |
