| Reverse description | A bull stands to the right in a vigorous, striding pose with head reverted to look back over its shoulder, rendered in bold high relief with pronounced musculature; a small dolphin swims to the right in the exergue beneath the bull. The composition is enclosed within a beaded border and the field is otherwise plain. The iconography alludes to the myth of Zeus in the guise of a bull carrying Europa, a theme central to the civic identity of Gortyna. |
