| Reverse description | Heracles standing left, head turned right, nude, holding a bow and Nemean lion skin in his extended left hand and a club in his right hand. The figure displays the canonical iconographic type of the hero-god associated with Heraclea Pontica, the city claiming Heracles as its mythological founder. The peripheral Greek legend proclaims the city's neocorate status. The reverse field is plain, and the type is rendered in the robust style characteristic of Pontic civic bronzes of the Gallienic period. |
