| Reverse description | Heracles standing facing left in the field, depicted in the canonical heroic pose holding a patera in his extended right hand, his grounded club in his left hand, and the Nemean lion skin draped over his arm. The reverse legend, disposed around the field in lunate Greek script, proclaims Smyrna's prestigious status as a three-time neocorate city. The type reflects Smyrna's civic pride and its deep association with the Heracles cult during the high imperial period. |
