| Reverse description | Nike, clad in a flowing long chiton, drives a fast quadriga to the right, holding the kentron (goad) in her extended right hand while gripping the reins in both hands; a monogram appears in the upper field above the horses. The ethnic legend ΣΙΚΕΛΙΩΤΑΝ is inscribed in the exergue, identifying the issuing authority as the Sikeliotai. The composition is dynamic and accomplished, reflecting the high artistic standards of Sicilian die-engraving of the period. |
