| Reverse description | Forepart of a boar charging to the right, depicted with bristled back and sturdy musculature in a vigorous, naturalistic rendering typical of South Italian bronze coinage. Two pellets (value marks denoting the sextans denomination) appear below the boar's chest in the lower field. The abbreviated civic legend ΠAIC is placed to the right or around the type, identifying the issuing city of Paestum (ancient Poseidonia). The composition is bold and compact, suited to the small module of this fractional bronze issue. |
