| Reverse description | A Heracles club depicted upright in the center of the field, handle uppermost, with the knotted wooden texture of the weapon rendered in detailed relief, showing pronounced knobs along its tapering body. The club is a well-known provincial type associated with Heracles and the mint of Caesarea in Cappadocia. A two-line Greek legend, ΥΠΑΤΟΥ ΤΡΙΤΟΥ, is distributed to the left and right of the device, referencing Nerva's third consulship of 97 CE. The flan is slightly irregular, as is typical of hammered provincial coinage of this period. |
