| Reverse description | Dionysus, the patron deity of the region, depicted standing to the left and clad in a short chiton, holding a cantharus (wine cup) in his raised right hand and resting his left hand upon a thyrsus (the staff sacred to Dionysus). The composition reflects the strong local religious identity of Heraclea Pontica and is rendered in the standard provincial die-cutting style of the Severan era. The encircling Greek legend names the issuing city in the genitive case. |
