| Beschrijving keerzijde | Dionysus depicted standing facing, head turned to the left, rendered in the classical tradition befitting a city with strong associations to the god. He holds a bunch of grapes in one hand and a thyrsus in the other, the standard divine attributes of Dionysus in provincial coinage. At his feet crouches a panther, the sacred animal of the god, characteristic of Dionysiac iconography in Asia Minor civic issues. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the field, naming the issuing city. The overall style is consistent with provincial bronze coinage struck at Heraclea Pontica under the Severan dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heraclea Pontica had a particular civic investment in Heracles mythology — the city claimed the hero had descended into the underworld through a cave at Cape Acherusia on its coastline, and local bronzes exploited this foundation legend aggressively under Severus as the emperor consolidated eastern provincial loyalties following his victory in the civil wars of 193–197.
