| Reverse description | Commodus depicted as Heracles-Helios, standing to the right with head turned to the left, nude except for a chlamys draped over the left arm. The figure is radiate-headed, raises the right hand in a commanding gesture, holds a Nike (Victory) in the left hand, and places one foot upon a prow (rostrum), symbolising naval dominance. The Greek legend naming the Romans and Heracles surrounds the figure, with the regnal year ΛΓ (year 33, i.e. 192–193 AD) indicated by the date marker L ΛΓ in the field. |
