| Famous silver drachm, c.525-463 B.C., 3.9g, 15mm, 2mm thick. Obv. Naked ithyphallic Stayr in kneeling, running attitude right carrying in his arms, a struggling Nymph who raises her right hand in protest. Rev. Quadripartite incuse square. The Satyroi with animal-like worthless man who performs no useful tasks & is only interested in following his baser instincts. This coin type can be thought of as both a model to be guarded against & an erotic celebration of the natural state of the universe. |
