| Reverse description | Highly stylised standing figure of Herakles rendered in strongly abstracted Celtic manner, depicted facing, with the body reduced to a schematic pillar-like form with bifurcated legs terminating in claw-like feet. The figure retains the general posture of the Thasian Herakles prototype but is entirely deconstructed into geometric elements. Surrounding the central device is a broad circular border composed of numerous raised pellets arranged equidistantly, replacing the original Greek inscription ΗΡΑΚΛΕΟΥΣ ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ ΘΑΣΙΩΝ entirely. The field is otherwise plain, with no remaining legible legend, the inscriptions of the prototype having been fully reduced to this decorative pellet arrangement. |
