maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 07/03/2009 6:42 pm I have recently added a couple of coins from Calabria, Taras to my small Greek collection Silver Nomos Obv:- Warrior on horseback right thrusting spear downward with right hand, holding two spears and shield in his left hand ; SI behind , DAKINMOS below. Rev:- [TARAS] , Phalanthos astride dolphin left, holding dolphinin right hand , cradling cornucopiae in left arm. [Delta;Alpha; below] Minted in Calabria, Taras from .c. 302 - 280 B.C. Magistrate Dakinmos Reference:- Vlasto 696 ; SNG ANS 1071 I love the obverse even if the reverse lets the coin down a little due to roughness caused by corrosion. The second coin is relatively nice on both sides but I don't think either side is as nice as the obverse on the first coin. Silver Nomos Obv:- Helmeted, nude warrior riding on horse right, transverse spear in right hand, large round shield behind, [Phi;I before], FHRAE / LHTWS below. Rev:- [T_A_RAS], Taras astride dolphin left, holding flower & cornucopiae; EI monogram & thymiaterion behind Minted in Calabria, Taras from .c. 272 - 235 B.C. Pheraeletos as magistrate Reference:- Vlasto 891 ?, SNG ANS 1209?. HN Italy 1037 Regards, Martin Edited by maridvnvm 07/03/2009 6:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
