Calabria, Tarentum. Stater; Calabria, Tarentum; c. 344-334 BC, Stater, 7.76g. Vlasto-510. Obv: Naked rider crowns standing horse, boy picks pebble from hoof beneath. Rx: Taras on dolphin holding shield, trident and kantharos, waves below.Within the series of Tarentum, and in fact within the entire Greek series, an image as sensitive as this is rarely shown. The figure of the boy seated below the horse, removing a pebble, gives a sensitivity not otherwise seen in the ancient series. The boy's image is beautifully struck, even showing the details of his face. MS
