Description
THRACIAN ISLANDS. Thasos. Ca. 500-450 BC. AR stater (23mm, 8.78 gm). NGC Choice Fine 5/5 - 5/5. Nude ithyphallic satyr running right, carrying nymph facing left, her right hand raised / Quadripartite incuse square. SNG Copenhagen 1010-1011. Dewing 1323. Le Rider 5. Nicely sculpted reliefs.Ex Economopoulos Numismatics, private sale with old dealer's tag included.
The iconography of these coins is sometimes described as a satyr ravishing a nymph. Given the importance of the cult of Dionysus to Thrace, a more likely explanation is that the two mythological figures are engaged in a ritualistic Dionysian dance.
