Reverse description A standing female figure, tentatively identified as Pomona or a local fertility deity, depicted facing left in long draped garments. She holds an apple in her extended right hand and a bundle of ears of grain in her left arm, attributes associated with agricultural abundance. The Greek legend ΗΡΑΚΛΕΩΤΑΝ ΠΟΝΤΩ is distributed in the field around the figure, identifying the issuing civic authority. The reverse composition is typical of the provincial civic coinage struck at Heraclea Pontica during the brief joint reign of Pupienus and Balbinus in 238 AD.
