| Beschrijving keerzijde | Asclepius stands facing at left, head turned to right, leaning on his serpent-entwined staff (kerykeion), confronting Hygieia who stands to the right facing left, extending a patera from which she feeds a serpent coiling up from below. The composition emphasises the healing cult prevalent at civic mints of Lydia, with both deities rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Severan-era Hermocapelia. The magistrate's name and civic ethnic fill the surrounding field in a multi-line legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hermocapelia was a minor Lydian city whose civic coinage depended almost entirely on the goodwill of the provincial governor — the magistrate name ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ ΤΡΥΦΩΝΟϹ ΑΠΕΛΛΑ identifies the strategos responsible for authorizing this issue, a local official whose endorsement was the mechanism by which small Asian cities accessed the right to strike bronze during the Severan period. The city itself is poorly attested in literary sources, known largely through its coins and a handful of inscriptions.
Bronze issues from the Pergamene conventus under Septimius Severus are notoriously inconsistent in fabric, reflecting decentralized production at the civic rather than provincial level.
