| Reverse description | The seated figure of Homer, the legendary epic poet, depicted facing left in a draped himation upon a throne or klismos chair, holding what appears to be a scroll or staff. The figure is rendered in a static, hieratic pose typical of Hellenistic civic bronze coinage honoring illustrious personages associated with the city. The Greek ethnic legend ΣΜΥΡΝΑΙΩΝ appears to the right, and the magistrate's name ΛΕΟΝΤΙΣΚΟΣ to the left, both disposed vertically in the field flanking the central type. |
