| Reverse description | A horseman advancing to the right, depicted in a dynamic pose with the horse in full stride; the rider appears armed or cloaked, consistent with Sicilian civic iconography of the late Hellenistic period. The legend ΕΓΕCΤΑΙΩΝ appears in Greek characters around the design, identifying the issuing city of Segesta. A dotted border frames the entire composition. Below the horse's hooves a ground line is discernible, and the overall style reflects the provincial Hellenistic engraving tradition of western Sicily under Roman protectorate. |
