Reverse description Homonoia type depicting two deities in confronted stance: Heracles stands to the right, nude, holding a club in his right hand with a lion's skin draped over his left shoulder, facing Dionysus who stands to the left holding a thyrsus in his left hand and a cantharus in his right extended over a panther crouching at his feet. The composition symbolises the civic concord between the cities of Bagis and Temenothyrae. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, records the alliance in Greek.
