Note ‘Herakles nudo in piede a s.; tiene un grifone rivolto a d.; clava in s.; sull’avambraccio la pelle del leone’. The year is not clear from the rubbing in DS, but is tentatively accepted on the authority of Dattari. Confirmation required. Representations of Heracles on this denomination are rare for Trajan: see also year 13 and Uncertain year
