| Reverse description | The city's eponymous founder Phalanthos depicted as a nude youth riding a dolphin to left, holding a tripod in his right hand and a trident in his left, referencing the Delphic oracle's prophecy that guided the Spartan colonists to Taras. A filleted bucranium appears to the right of the main type, serving as a secondary symbol. The ethnic ΤΑΡΑΣ is inscribed in the lower field. The composition reflects the canonical Tarentine reverse type, rendered with refined Hellenistic engraving. |
