| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Herculean club depicted upright in the centre of the field, the knotted wooden shaft rendered in a simplified but recognisable style. The surrounding field carries the Latin colonial legend COL A A PATR, an abbreviation for Colonia Augusta Aroe Patrensis, distributed around the type. The imagery alludes to the Heracleid foundation mythology embraced by the Roman colony at Patras. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Patras received its colonial status directly from Augustus following the Battle of Actium in 31 BC, when he resettled veterans from legions X Equestris and XII Fulminata there — soldiers who had fought under his command against Antony and Cleopatra just miles up the Corinthian Gulf. The colonial mint at Patras was among the earliest established in Greece under the new imperial order, and RPC I 1279 belongs to that initial wave of civic bronze struck to assert the colony's Roman identity in a heavily Greek region.
