| Reverse description | Standing figure of the bearded, nude Heracles depicted frontally in the field, his weight distributed in a relaxed contrapposto stance. The hero holds his distinctive club in one hand and a bow in the other, attributes emblematic of his legendary labours. The Greek legend naming the civic magistrate Attalos, archiatros (chief physician), and honouring the youth of Heraclea is distributed around the figure in the field and along the coin's periphery. The reverse type reflects the city's devotion to its eponymous hero and the role of civic benefactors in provincial coinage production. |
