背面描述	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.

附加信息	Neapolis — modern Naples — was a Greek colonial foundation, and its earliest coinages were struck under heavy Cumaean cultural influence before the city developed its own distinct monetary identity. This issue falls within the period when Campanian Greek cities were navigating increasingly hostile pressure from Oscan-speaking Samnite populations moving down from the interior highlands, a demographic shift that would eventually transform the region's political character entirely. The Jameson 42 reference places this among a small, well-documented group of dies, making provenance cross-referencing unusually tractable for a fifth-century colonial issue.
