| Reverse description | A man-headed bull stands to the left in a proud, vigorous pose above a plain exergual line, a typical Campanian civic type associated with river god imagery. Above the bull's back, a small flying figure (Nike or a bird) appears as a symbol in the upper field. The retrograde Greek legend ΥΠΟΔΕΚΤ (likely reading ΥΠΟΔΕΚΤΟΝ or a magistrate's name) appears in the exergue beneath the groundline. The work is bold and confident, reflecting the high-quality die engraving characteristic of Neapolitan coinage of this period. |
