| Reverse description | Phalanthos, the mythological founder of Tarentum, depicted nude and riding a dolphin to left, his torso turned slightly to the right in a dynamic contrapposto pose. He holds a trident over his right shoulder in his right hand while his raised left hand grasps his billowing drapery, a compositional device typical of Tarentine nomoi. To the right, the monogram ΣΩ appears in the field, and below the dolphin, stylized waves and a cuttlefish occupy the exergual area. The ethnic ΤΑΡΑΣ is inscribed in the field. |
