| Reverse description | A tall Herculean club stands erect at center, with a caduceus depicted to its right in the field. These symbols together evoke the dual divine patronage of Heracles and Hermes, both significant in Lacedaemonian civic iconography. The ethnic legend ΛΑΚΕΔΑΙΜΟΝΙΩΝ appears around the devices, identifying the issuing city of Sparta. The composition is set within a plain circular flan typical of Achaean provincial bronze issues of the early Imperial period. |
