| Reverse description | A youthful, nude Herakles is depicted seated to the left upon a rocky outcrop draped with the Nemean lion's skin. In his right hand he holds a club pointing downward, while his left hand rests upon the rock surface for support. Behind him, a strung bow and a quiver fitted with a carrying strap are visible in the field, alluding to his heroic attributes. The composition reflects the influence of Peloponnesian iconographic conventions as transmitted through Sicilian die-cutting traditions of the mid-fourth century BC. |
