Product Details
Rare to find Silver Didrachm from Taranto, also known as "The Spartan City". Taranto was the only colony ever founded by Sparta.
Coin Highlights:
- Calabria, Taras Silver Didrachm, 302-280 BC.
- Encapsulation by NGC authenticates and protects the Choice Very Fine condition of the coin.
- Obverse: Nude youth horseman cantering left, holding a small shield.
- Reverse: Taras seated on dolphin left, holding Nike above the waves.
This Tarentine didrachm beautifully embodies the mythology, aristocracy, and military identity of the city. The horseman and dolphin-riding Taras are not only rich in symbolism, but also stand among the most iconic and artistically celebrated designs in all of Greek coinage. A favorite among collectors of Magna Graecia, mythological types, and classical silver art, this piece offers both historical depth and aesthetic appeal.
Whether you're building a focused regional collection or seeking a single standout example of ancient Greek craftsmanship, this coin deserves a place in your cabinet. - Specifications
