| Beschrijving keerzijde | Asclepius, the god of medicine, depicted standing facing with head turned to the left, his body rendered in classical contrapposto. He rests his right hand upon a tall serpent-entwined staff (the caduceus of Asclepius), the coiled serpent being a defining iconographic attribute of the deity. The figure is shown in full-length, draped, with the Greek civic legend of Heraclea Pontica distributed around the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heraclea Pontica had a complicated relationship with Rome by the Severan period — the city had been devastated by Lucullus in 70 BC and rebuilt slowly, but by the second century AD it was flourishing again as a key port on the southern Black Sea coast. Provincial bronzes struck there under Septimius Severus reflect a city eager to align itself with the new dynasty following the chaos of 193 AD, the Year of the Five Emperors, when backing the wrong claimant carried existential consequences for civic mints.
