<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsyas Mike, post: 4035542, member: 85693&quot;]That is a beautiful coin - congratulations on the fine addition to your collection.&nbsp; Here is mine with a boy rather than the warrior obverse, a later issue.&nbsp; Phalanthros is holding a distaff and aphlaston rather than a helmet (not sure how he keeps his seat - if you are riding a dolphin, it is probably best to have one hand free to hang on, as in the OP).&nbsp; Not sure of the significance of that, but I know there are a lot of varieties of these. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1059746[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Calabria, Tarentum </b></p><p><b>AR Nomos </b></p><p><b>Hippodanos Magistrate</b></p><p><b>(c. 280-272 B.C.)</b></p><p>Naked youth on horseback right, crowning self; ΣΩ to left, ZAΛO &amp; Ionic capital below / Phalanthos riding dolphin left, holding distaff &amp; aphlaston; TAΡA[Σ] below;&nbsp;&nbsp; ANO to right.
