DEPICTED ON THE COIN
Obverse: Bull standing left, head right; VM in exergue.
Reverse: Incuse bull standing right, head left.
HISTORY
The coin of Sybaris depicts a bull whose head is gracefully turned backwards, in relief on the obverse and incuse on the reverse. Its type is one of the most artistic on the coins of Southern Italy and, indeed, elsewhere in the Greek world. The Sybaris elite were renowned for their indulgences, giving root to the modern work “sybarite.” It was said that Sybarite chefs were able to patent their recipes, and the games hosted by this city state were more elaborate than those of Olympia. There was an uprising in 510 B.C., squelched by the elite. Rebels took refuge in nearby Croton (which also used the incuse technique for its coins representing the tripod of Apollo at Delphi; see below). Sybaris demanded their extradition. When Croton refused, Sybaris attacked Croton. Although vastly outnumbered by the Sybarite forces, Croton managed to repel the attack and destroyed Sybaris. To prevent Sybaris from ever being resettled, it then diverted the Crathis River to pass through the center of the old city. Because of this, remnants of the center of Sybaris have never been uncovered, and coins are among the few surviving artifacts of this fascinating city-state.
