| Reverse description | Nude Heracles standing facing, head turned to the left, with his right arm resting upon his grounded club and his left hand holding the Nemean lion skin draped over his forearm. The figure is rendered in the classical heroic tradition befitting this major deity of the Argolid region. A Greek ethnic legend identifying the issuing city of Argos appears in the field, partially legible due to heavy patination and surface corrosion. The composition reflects the strong mythological association between Argos and the Heraclean cycle. |
