| Reverse description | Heracles depicted standing in contrapposto, facing left, with his raised left hand gripping his club and his right hand holding both the bow and the Nemean lion skin — attributes emblematic of his twelve labors. The reverse legend ΗΡΑΚΛΑϹ ΝΕΩΚΟΡ fills the field around the figure, referencing the city of Heraclea's proud status as a neocorate, a title denoting an officially recognized imperial cult center. The composition reflects the city's strong cultic and civic association with its eponymous hero deity. |
