21.00 mm
weight 7,71gr. | silver Ø 21mm.
obv. Wreathed head of Athena right, hair bound at nape of neck,
against background of aegis.
rev. Heracles seated lelft on rock draped with lion skin, holding one
handled jug in right hand and supporting himself on left arm below,
club and shell resting against rock, HPAKΛEIΩN on left
This nomos is among the oldest Heraclean issues. According to scholars, it is ascribable to a die-engraver from Taras. The coin bears an unusual representation of Athena: without helmet, but framed on the adorned background of the aegis (shield covered with goat-skin), surrounded by snakes. The reverse shows an equally unusual Heracles: the hero is not occupied in one of his amazing labours, instead he is caught at a moment of rest, reclining (this scheme was subsequently resumed by Croton on its later coins) on a rock draped with a lion-skin (the most characteristic attribute of the hero) and holding a chalice in his right hand. A club leans against the rock. The relationship between Heracles, wine, and the Dionysian world is known from various sources: myth (Heracles was at the service of the vine-dresser Sileus Heracles and Folus), archaeology (the well-known drunken Heracles from Herculaneum, before 79 AD), and literature. The great lyric poet Stesichorus (VI Cent. BC), probably born in Metauro (a Locrese colony not far from the modern Gioia Tauro in Calabria), refers in song to the struggle between the Centauri and Heracles over a pitcher of wine, a gift of Dionysus to the centaur Folus: "He took the right cup – it was a bowl / gigantic (nine litres / or thereabouts). He lifted it / he gulped down the mixture offered him by Folus".
An interesting portrait and a fascinating and finely detailed reverse composition of the finest classical style. Struck on a very broad flan and exceptionally complete for the issue. Of the highest rarity and interest. Among the finest known specimens of one of the most desirable coins of Magna Graecia.
♦ An absulute Classical masterpies, made by a great artist. Extremely rare. ♦
