| Reverse description | Hercules standing right, depicted in the act of wrestling the giant Antaeus, whom he lifts clear of the ground to deny him contact with his mother Earth, from whom Antaeus drew his strength. The powerful musculature of both figures is rendered in the Hellenistic tradition common to provincial bronzes of the Troad region. The colonial legend is distributed across the field. The scene alludes to the Labours of Hercules, a favoured mythological type at Alexandria Troas. |
