| Beschrijving keerzijde | The river god Hermos reclines to the left, semi-draped, his muscular torso rendered in the classical personification style typical of provincial Asian bronzes. He holds a tall reed in his raised right hand and leans with his left arm upon an overturned water urn from which water flows, symbolising the river's source. Aquatic vegetation is depicted beneath and around the figure. The ethnic and divine name legends appear around the field, with ΕΡΜΟϹ partially visible in the lower exergual area, encircled by a dotted border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tabala was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage under Gordian III forms one of the more obscure corners of the Sardis conventus series. The river god Hermos — from whose name this type takes its ethnic suffix — was the mythological and practical artery of the Hermos valley, and Tabalan issues invoking him were almost certainly tied to local festival or cult activity rather than routine monetary need. Surviving specimens are rare enough that die studies for this series remain incomplete.
