Fisrt side: It is shows Aegeus with Pythia on Delphi. In Greek mythology Aegeus was an archaic figure in the founding myth in Athens. The "goat-man" who gave his name to the Aegean sea was, next to God Poseidon, the father of Theseus, the founder of Athenian institutions and one of the Kings of Athens .

The first problem to face Aegeus was the question of a successor, for despite marrying first Meta, daughter of Hoples, and then Chalciope, daughter of Rhexenor, Aegeus remained childless. Fearing that he had been cursed for some unknown reason by the goddess Aphrodite, Aegeus was said to have introduced the worship of Aphrodite to Athens, but still no successor was born. King Aegeus was now fearful that being childless was a sign of weakness, and that Pallas and his sons might remove him by force. Seeking a solution to his problem, King Aegeus visited the Oracle of Delphi, but the words given to him by the Pythia gave him no comfort, for the words spoken by the priestess were, "The bulging mouth of the wineskin, O best of men, Loose not until thou hast reached the height of Athens."
