| Reverse description | Hercules, nude, standing frontally upon a low rectangular base, his head turned slightly to one side. In his right hand he holds a club pointing downward toward the ground, while his left arm bears the Nemean lion-skin draped over it. The composition presents the hero in a classicizing, statuesque pose evoking a cult statue, emphasizing Trajan's identification with the demigod's virtue and strength. The reverse legend is distributed in the field around the figure. |
