Gela
Quadriga galloping to the left, driven by an charioteer holding a kentron in his right hand and the reins in both hands; above the horses, an eagle flying left; in exergue, grain ear to left., Androcephalic bull standing left on a ground line; before him, a long stalk of cereal (barley or wheat) with a ear before his head and another stalk with an ear under his beard. In exergue, a grain (barley or wheat) to left., Tetradrachm of the highest rarity, from the city of Gela. The engravings are still very well preserved, and the cereal stalk is still clearly visible, and most importantly complete, a rare feature for these coins, which are often centred on the bull, with the stalk only partially visible. The coin is covered by an uneven grey patina, which varies in intensity depending on the area. A very interesting numismatic aspect of these tetradrachms is the die combination between the quadriga and eagle obverse and another reverse die. There, the bull river-god is represented as a forepart, unlike this later issue where it is represented in its entirety. This is also the only known issue of the tetradrachms of the city of Gela with such a representation of their river god, who had maintained the representation of the forepart throughout the history of its coinage. Probably minted shortly before the destruction of the city by the Carthaginians in 405 BC, this coin offers us a splendid figurative depiction of a landscape of its chôra, fertilised by the river Gela, personified by the androcephalic bull. These ears of grain in front of him as in the exergue emphasise the agricultural wealth of the region, as had already been depicted on previous issues.Jameson 593 (same dies); SNG Copenhagen 279 (same dies); SNG Fitzwilliam 1010 (same dies); Basel 291; Jenkins Gela, Group IX, 485 and Rizzo pl.
