| Beschrijving keerzijde | A nude male figure stands facing, with head turned to the left; he extends his right hand forward holding a patera and carries ears of corn in his lowered left hand. The composition is typical of provincial Severan reverse types evoking agricultural abundance and civic piety. The Greek legend encircles the reverse field, naming the city of Heraclea in Pontus as the issuing authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heraclea Pontica had a complicated relationship with Rome throughout the imperial period — the city had been sacked by Cotta in 70 BC during the Mithridatic Wars and never quite recovered its earlier wealth. Under Severus, provincial bronze like this circulated within a tightly regional economy, filling gaps left by inconsistent imperial supply. The city retained the right to strike its own coinage sporadically through the Severan dynasty, one of the few Pontic mints still doing so by this period.
