| Reverse description | A man-headed bull strides vigorously to the right, its human head turned to face the viewer frontally — a distinctive Campanian motif representing the river god Sebethos, patron deity of Neapolis. Nike, the winged goddess of victory, flies above the bull and reaches down to place a wreath upon its head, her wings spread dramatically across the upper field. The Greek letters IΣ appear in the exergue below the bull, functioning as a secondary control mark or magistrate's abbreviation. The composition is dynamic and characteristic of the Neapolitan bronze coinage of the mid-Hellenistic period. |
