| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heracles seated left upon a rocky outcrop, his muscular figure rendered in a summary provincial style. The hero rests his right arm upon his characteristic club, which stands upright beside him to the right. The retrograde ethnic legend ΑΔΡΑΗΝωΝ encircles the type in the field, identifying the issuing city of Adraa. The overall execution is characteristic of the small provincial bronzes struck at Adraa in the Severan period, with shallow relief and worn surfaces. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Adraa, a minor city of the Roman province of Arabia Petraea, issued coins only sporadically under the Severan emperors, and the retrograde ethnic on this piece — ΑΔΡΑΗΝωΝ running right to left — almost certainly reflects a local engraver working without a corrected die model rather than any deliberate stylistic choice. The phenomenon is well-documented in small Levantine civic mints where die-cutting was contracted to craftsmen unfamiliar with Greek letterforms.
