| Reverse description | The mythological founder-hero Phalanthos depicted nude, riding side-saddle upon a dolphin leaping to left, holding a kantharos in his extended right hand and a trident in his left hand. The city ethnic ΤΑΡΑΣ appears in the left field, with the magistrate or control mark ΑΡ placed to the right. The composition follows the canonical Tarentine reverse type, with the dolphin-riding Phalanthos serving as the enduring emblem of the city's Spartan colonial heritage and its intimate connection to the sea. |
