| Reverse description | Nude, bearded Heracles standing facing, with head turned to the right. His right hand rests on his hip in a contrapposto pose, while his left arm is draped with the Nemean lion skin and leans upon his club, which is planted upright on a rock. The reverse legend ΚΥΖΙΚΗΝΩΝ (of the Cyzicenes) is inscribed around the field, identifying the civic issuing authority. The composition reflects the strong civic pride of Cyzicus in its association with the Heraclean mythological tradition. |
