| Beschrijving keerzijde | Heracles depicted nude, advancing to the right, holding in both hands a long pole with a hook or crook attached at one end, an allusion to the cleansing of the Augean stables, the fifth of his canonical labours. The figure is rendered in the robust Hellenistic tradition, befitting the mythological patron of Heraclea Pontica. The encircling Greek legend ΗΡΑΚΛΗΑϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ identifies the city and proudly proclaims its status as a neocorate, honouring the imperial cult. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heraclea Pontica's civic bronze issues under Gallienus's sole reign — after the capture of Valerian by Shapur I in 260 AD effectively ended the co-regency — reflect the city's continued insistence on its neokoros status at a moment when the empire was fracturing badly. The title ΝΕΩΚΟΡΩΝ, claiming temple wardenship, was a civic honor cities competed fiercely to obtain and retain from the imperial cult administration.
