For a new interpretation of the reverse of this coin, see A. Desbat (ed), Lugdunum naissance d’une capitale (2005), pp. 47-9: Hercules fights against Acheloos, the river-god who changed himself into a furious bull. Hercules offered to the goddess Copia one of its horns, hence the name cornucopia. Thanks to Nicolas Dubreu for providing photos of specimen 4.
