| Reverse description | Hercules stands facing right in the central field, nude, depicted in a relaxed contrapposto stance with his weight resting on his club, which is set upon a rock draped with the Nemean lion's skin. The hero raises his right hand, possibly holding the bow or gesturing, while the lion's skin hangs prominently alongside the club. The reverse legend HERCVLI CONSERVAT encircles the type, invoking Hercules as divine protector of the emperor. A mint mark appears in the exergue, varying by issue (e.g., PXXIT, SXXIT, or TXXIT), indicating the Ticinum mint workshop. |
