| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hercules, depicted as a youthful nude figure striding left, forcibly restraining a galloping bull by grasping its horns; a club, the attribute of Hercules, is shown upright in the right field. The legend MVNATIA, referencing the magistrate or colonial title, is distributed around the field. The composition alludes to the mythological founding of Lugdunum and the Herculean labors, rendered in a bold, vigorous style typical of late Republican colonial bronzes. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Lugdunum was founded in 43 BC by Lucius Munatius Plancus, a lieutenant of Julius Caesar, on the confluence of the Rhône and Saône — the same year this bronze was struck. The colony's coins are among the earliest issues from what would become Roman Gaul's administrative capital, produced within months of the city's establishment itself.
Plancus later boasted of the founding in his own funeral inscription, the only Roman senator known to have composed his own epitaph in the third person.
