| Reverse description | Zeus, nude and in dynamic posture, drives a galloping biga (two-horse chariot) to the left, wielding a whip or reins; the horses are depicted in full stride with expressive energy characteristic of South Italian die engraving. A bunch of grapes appears in the lower field below the horses, referencing the agricultural identity of the Bruttian region. A partial ethnic inscription in Greek characters appears along the lower exergue, attributing the issue to the Brettii. |
