| Reverse description | Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, depicted in a prancing pose to the right with wings raised and one foreleg lifted. The figure is rendered with considerable artistic skill, conveying dynamism and musculature. The legend ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΩΝ arcs above the figure across the upper field, while the magistrate name ΜΕΝΕΚΛΗΣ appears in the lower exergual area, identifying the issuing authority. The composition is typical of Alabandan civic coinage of the late 3rd to early 2nd century BC. |
