The front (obverse) of this coin depicts the hero Hercules, facing right, wearing his signature lion skin cloak tied around his neck. The back (reverse) shows a bow in case and a club.Herakles was the consummate hero. Temples across Greece and South Italy were dedicated to him, the son of Zeus, and Romans, who knew him as Hercules, celebrated him as a role model. With brute force, determination, and just enough cleverness, Herakles completed his famous Twelve Labors to become immortal. Herakles is readily identifiable by his knobby club and lionís skin. The latter refers to his First Labor, in which he killed a magical beast who was ravaging the town of Nemea. The lionís invincible hide made him immune to weapons, so Herakles strangled him and took his pelt.. Bronze . Ancient Greekdenarius. Hadrian (Roman emperor; 117-138), emperordenarius.
