TYPE Greek Imperial, Hadrianopolis, Thrace, under Gordian III (238-244 AD), bronze AE25, 9.94g DESCRIPTION . Obv: Bust of Gordian to right, Greek legend GORDIANOS [...] Rev: Bearded nude Herakles standing, swinging club at Kerberos whom he holds with other hand, circular Greek inscription [...] RIANOPOLEITON REFERENCE: BMC 34 GRADING: F / AVF, dark patina, rare ORDER INFO: G1219, $125 Though details of the clubbed three-headed dog appear admittedly fuzzy, the determined look on Herakles' face (not apparent on scan) and his nonchalant pose tell it all... Comparison with a slightly finer (and much pricier) specimen of this rare type confirms the interpretation of this scene.
