| Reverse description | Bearded Heracles seated in repose upon a rock, facing left, his muscular nude figure rendered in a relaxed pose. His left hand rests upon the rock surface for support, while his right hand holds an uncertain object, possibly a cup or cista mystica, reflecting a local Mysian cult association. The reverse legend in Greek majuscules identifies the issuing magistrate and the city of Germe. The composition follows a well-established provincial iconographic type for Heracles at rest, evoking the hero's respite after his labors. |
