[T AI]ΛIOC KAICAP - ANTΩNEINO[C], laureate head right / EΠI ΔIOCKOVPIΔ[OV] ΓP - MAΓ - NHTΩN, Themistokles, nude to hips, sitting left on throne with lion's-feet, left hand at parazonium hanging at his left side, with right hand holding an oval shield inscribed with (?)EM/(?)AN/OC in three lines set on cippus; right behind him a horse standing right, head turned left. Very rare, F+. Hoeft coll.
This coin was very difficult to interpret because of the depiction of the male figure, nude, with parazonium, very tall upper part of the body, but it suggests Themistokles. There is another rare type of him sacrificing before an altar, where he is similarily depicted. Themistokles is the famous hero of Salamis who had to flee from Athens after an ostrakismos. His former enemy, the Persian king Artaxerxes I, accommodated him and made him satrap of Lampsakos and Magnesia ad Maeandrum due to his merits at Salamis.

Because of the city’s connection with Aphrodite, in the fourth century BC, Knidos acquired a cult-statue of the goddess by the sculptor Praxitiles. After it was rejected by the citizens of Kos (for whom it had been commissioned) because it showed Aphrodite nude for the first time, Knidos purchased the statue, erecting it in an open air temple so that it could be viewed from all angles. As a result, it became a popular tourist attraction and the subject of numerous tales of all types.
