Aristoxenos has not handed down to us enough information to name this rather melancholy, middle-aged woman, 
any more than the young girl of the same style, Noe 421. Noe calls her Demeter; if so they are mother and daughter 
and both are masterly studies. It is to be noted that a contemporary issue, Noe 412 explicitly tells us with an 
epithet that we are looking at the bust of Hygieia, and from this it is not unimaginable to conclude that the 
coinage of Metapontum may be celebrating the whole pantheon of beautiful female deities.
