| Reverse description | Youthful head of the river-god Amenanos facing left, rendered with exceptional artistry in the finest Classical Sicilian style. The hair is elaborately curled and flows in thick, undulating waves behind the neck, with individual locks rendered with great precision and plasticity. The facial features are idealized yet naturalistic, with a smooth brow, refined profile, and slightly parted lips. The legend KATANAIΩN runs around the periphery of the field. The overall style is closely associated with the renowned die-engravers active in Sicily circa 405 BC. |
