Scribonianus, strategus. • A • K • MAP • IOV • • ΦIΛIΠΠOC •, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust right, seen from behind / • ЄΠ • CT KΛ • CKPЄI/• BωNIA/NOY • above, • ΦωKAIЄωN • in exergue, dog standing right, biting into a captured dolphin left with tail upturned. Good VF, brown patina. Extremely rare, one of two known (the other is in the BM). The enigmatic reverse type of this coin has defied any substantially conclusive explanation. Phocaea’s extant foundation mythology does not include this topos, and the civic badge was the seal, rather than the dolphin. To date, Head’s suggestion (HN, p. 590) seems the only explanatory attempt: the dog is a personification of the local river, the Smardos, rushing down to the sea, personified by the dolphin. Otherwise, the meaning of this scene is unknown. Phokaia (BC 387-326) Hemidrachm1093 viewsca 387-326 BC. AR Hemidrachm (2.12g, 2h).
