| Obverse description | The Dioscouri depicted as paired equestrian figures, wearing conical (Phrygian-style) peaked helmets and billowing cloaks, mounted on horses cantering to right in dynamic composition. The magistrate's name ΝΙΚΥΛΟΣ appears in the field, serving as the engraver or magistrate signature. The rendering reflects the mature Tarentine coinage style of the late period, with fluid drapery and energetic equine forms characteristic of South Italian Greek die-cutting. |
