THRACIAN ISLANDS. Thasos. Ca. 525-450 BC. AR stater (22mm, 8.87
gm). NGC Choice VF★ 5/5 - 5/5, Fine Style. Nude
ithyphallic satyr running right, carrying nymph, her right hand
raised / Quadripartite incuse square. SNG Copenhagen 1010-1011.
Dewing 1323. Le Rider 5. Bold, Fine Style details are shadowed and
accentuated by the charcoal toning of the fields.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.
