| Reverse description | A tripod lebes set upon a stepped base occupies the centre of the field, rendered with careful architectural precision. A bowl or omphalos rests atop the tripod, flanked by its characteristic legs terminating in lion-paw feet. To the left, a stalk of grain or barley rises alongside the tripod, while to the right a serpent coils upward, both symbols strongly associated with the cult of Apollo at Kroton. The legend ΚΡΟΤΩΝΙΑΤΑΝ curves around the upper portion of the field in clear Greek characters. The reverse is contained within a beaded border, consistent with Krotoniate stater production of the late fourth century BC. |
