| Reverse description | Herakles depicted in dynamic action, standing and raising his club aloft in his right hand, poised to deliver a blow to the Nemean lion which rears up and attacks him from the right. The hero's muscular body is shown in a twisting posture conveying great tension and movement. A bow and quiver are visible in the left field as attributes of the hero. The abbreviated legend ͰΗ appears in the field, referencing Herakles. The composition reflects the vigorous Tarentine engraving tradition of the late fourth century BC. |
