| 背面描述 | Hygieia, goddess of health, stands facing with head turned to the right, depicted in long flowing robes in the centre of the field. She extends a patera in her right hand, from which a large serpent coils upward to feed, the serpent's body wrapping around her left arm or a staff. The Greek civic legend is distributed around the reverse field, identifying the issuing city of Heraclea Pontica. |

Heraclea Pontica had a long history of punching above its political weight — a Greek colony founded by Megara in the 6th century BC, it retained enough civic pride under Roman rule to continue issuing bronze coinage well into the 3rd century. Maximinus Thrax, whose reign this piece falls under, never visited the eastern provinces; his campaigns kept him fixed on the Rhine and Danube frontiers until the Senate declared him a public enemy in 238.
That chaotic year — three rival emperors dead within months — makes any provincial issue attributable to his reign a compressed historical document.
