Though a very popular reverse type for the Tetrarchs, this coin is only recorded for officina B and is listed as Rare, as are all 6 types in this rare issue (blank|A,B,Gamma / .SISC.). Curtis Clay surmises that all 6 of them were produced by all 3 officinae , making 18 variants. RIC records 8 of them, mine adds a 9th and there should be 9 more out there, though very rare indeed!

Neapolis (modern day Naples) was an early Rhodian colony, originally named Parthenope. Its name was changed to Neapolis in ca. 450 BC. The obverse of this issue represents the Siren Parthenope who was the local goddess of Neapolis. The man-headed bull reverse was a type shared by a number of Campanian cities and may have generally been understood as representing Acheloös, the father of Sirens. The name of Acheloös appears in cults throughout the Greek world and in mythology as the archetypal river-god and may have been used in this context in Campania.
