| Beschrijving keerzijde | Athena, clad in chiton and aegis, standing left in full figure, her right hand extended to pour a libation from a patera over a flaming altar at her side, while her left hand holds an upright spear. The goddess is depicted in a statuesque, frontal composition characteristic of Lydian civic coinage. The ethnic legend of the issuing community encircles the design in the field, asserting the civic identity of Hermocapelia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hermocapelia was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage exists almost entirely because provincial centers needed local bronze for small transactions the imperial mint had no interest in supplying. The conventus of Pergamum administered a sprawling district, and member cities like Hermocapelia struck under that umbrella with considerable autonomy over types and legends. Surviving examples are scarce in any condition — the city's output was never large, and Lydian provincial bronzes of this size circulated hard before disappearing into the soil.
