Beschrijving keerzijde Heracles depicted standing left in a frontal pose, his weight distributed in a slight contrapposto stance. In his extended right hand he holds a cantharus, while his left arm rests upon a grounded club draped with the Nemean lion skin — attributes emblematic of the hero's labours and divine favour. The ethnic legend of the Temnites is inscribed in the field around the figure, enclosed by a beaded border. The composition reflects standard Lydian civic iconography associating the city's patron deity with imperial authority.

Aanvullende informatie

Temnus was a minor Aeolian city whose civic coinage under Philip I survives in frustratingly small numbers — the conventus of Smyrna administered dozens of such communities, and many struck only sporadically when local finances or civic occasion demanded it. This piece belongs to a narrow window of provincial bronze production that effectively ended when Gallienus curtailed most Asian civic minting in the 260s.
