ABOUT COIN
Obverse: META Five-grained ear of barley within dotted border.
Reverse: Ox head facing within rayed border; all in incuse.
HISTORY
An ear of barley, depicted on this coin, serves as a potent emblem of agricultural prosperity, closely linked to Demeter, the revered Greek Goddess of the harvest and fertility. This symbol not only underscores the abundant yield of Metapontion, a prominent colony in Lucania, but also highlights the region's reliance on barley as a staple crop.
The choice of barley on this coin is emblematic of Metapontion's rich and fertile lands, renowned throughout the ancient world. The meticulous depiction of the six-grained barley ear symbolises the city’s agricultural wealth and its role as a major grain producer in the region.
On the reverse of the coin, an incuse (concave) rendering of the ox's head mirrors the artistic and technical innovation attributed to the Pythagorean influence, a mathematician who lived in this region. The ox, a symbol of strength and vitality, complements the barley ear on the obverse, together representing the harmony between agriculture and livestock that sustained the economy of Metapontion.
