| Beschrijving keerzijde | A female figure, tentatively identified as Pomona or a local fertility deity, stands facing left in long draped garments. She extends her right hand holding an apple and her left arm cradles ears of grain, attributes emblematic of agricultural abundance. The composition is typical of Pontic civic reverses celebrating local prosperity. The encircling legend in Greek identifies the issuing city. A dotted border surrounds the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Heraclea Pontica had a long tradition of civic coinage stretching back centuries before Roman provincial administration formalized it, and by the reign of Gordian III the city was still asserting its identity through local bronze issues rather than deferring entirely to imperial mint output. The city's Greek colonial heritage — founded by Megara — was a source of civic pride that provincial elites actively maintained through coinage well into the third century.
The reference VII.2#2126 places this within Waddington, Babelon, and Reinach's *Recueil général des monnaies grecques d'Asie Mineure*, the standard corpus for this material.
