| Reverse description | Three Heraklean attributes arranged in the field: a bow at left, a quiver at centre, and a club at right, emblems alluding to the hero Herakles, the eponymous patron of the city. A bunch of grapes appears in the right field, referencing the region's viticultural prosperity. The devices are rendered in a bold, schematic style typical of small-module silver coinage of the period, set within a circular border. |
