| Reverse description | Herakles stands facing, nude, with his head turned to the left; he holds a club in his right hand set to the ground and a lion skin draped over his extended left arm, with a bunch of grapes hanging at his side — a detail characteristic of the Thasian type and its Celtic imitations. The figure is rendered in a stylized Celtic idiom with elongated proportions. A horizontal ground line runs beneath the figure. The two-line Greek legend is disposed to the right and left of the figure, reading ΗΡΑΚΛΕΟΥΣ ΣΩΤΗΡΟΣ ΘΑΣΙΩΝ, though the lettering shows the characteristic distortions and retrograde tendencies associated with Celtic copying of the Thasian prototype. |
