The Prospero Collection of Ancient Greek Coins. ITALY. Lucan ia, Metapontum (c.340-330 B.C.), Silver Distater, 15.56g,. Bearded head of Leukippos facing to right, wearing a Corinthian helmet ornamented on the bowl with Nike driving a galloping quadriga to right, and with a hippocamp swimming to right between the front visor and the back flap, AΠH and the forepart of a lion to right behind. Rev. METAΠONTINΩN , ear of barley, a leaf on left with a club above and AMI below (Johnston, Class B1.2; Jameson 306; SNG ANS 430; Kraay – Hirmer pl. 84, 242; HN Italy 1574). Attractive cabinet tone, nearly extremely fine, of very attractive style and very r are. Metapontum was another of the wealthy Greek colonies in Magna Graecia. Throughout the extensive series of staters that Metapontum issued, the ear of barley, to which the city-state owed its wealth, features prominently. Perhaps of most interest however, is the head of Demeter, the goddess of corn, which usually appears on the obverse of the staters. The head of Demeter is consistently represented as a young woman, often engraved in exquisite beauty to a very high degree of artistry. Considering the range of different styles in which Demeter manifests herself, it is tempting to think that the artists responsible might have taken their inspiration from real life. The Prospero Collection includes a very attractive and select group of staters from Metapontum. US$ 8,500
