Taras was the eponymous founder of the Greek colony of Taras, Tarentum, modern Taranto, in Magna Graecia today South Italy. Taras was the son of Poseidon and when Taras was shipwrecked, his father rescued him by sending a dolphin which he rode to traverse the sea from the promontory of Taenarum to the south of Italy. Brought ashore, Taras founded Tarentum which was named in his honor.

Greek coins of particular poleis or city-states often carried specific designs which were used for centuries, becoming instantly recognisable symbols of that city. Gods and figures from Greek mythology were especially popular
