| Reverse description | Nude Heracles striding vigorously to the right, bearing the captured Erymanthian boar across his shoulders in reference to his Fourth Labour. The hero is depicted in a dynamic advancing pose, consistent with Hellenistic artistic conventions common on Bosporan coinage. The value marks, comprising an asterisk and the letter B (denoting 2 denarii), appear in the right field. The overall style reflects the eclectic provincial Greek engraving tradition of the Cimmerian Bosporus during the Severan era. |
