| Reverse description | Heracles advancing to the right, the Nemean lion skin draped about his neck and shoulders, raising his club to strike the Ceryneian Hind, which he simultaneously restrains by grasping her antlers with his left hand. The scene depicts the third Labour of Heracles, rendered with dynamic energy characteristic of provincial Roman bronze coinage. The reverse legend ΗΡΑΚΛΕΩΤΑΝ ΠΟΝΤΩ (of the Heracleans in Pontus) encircles the design, emphasizing the civic identity of Heraclea Pontica and its special devotion to its eponymous hero. |
