| Reverse description | Heracles depicted standing facing with head turned to the right, nude in the Hellenistic tradition. He holds a club in one hand and the Nemean lion's skin draped over his other arm, recalling his celebrated Twelve Labours. The ethnic legend of the issuing city encircles the type in the field, identifying this as a civic issue of Saitta in Lydia. The die work, though worn, reflects the standard provincial iconographic conventions for Heracles employed across the conventus of Sardis. |
