Obverse, Herakles and the Erymanthian boar Reverse, three horsemen It is worth noting that the youths on the reverse are nude. Since they are armed with spears, they appear to be setting out for a hunt. This scene contrasts with the depiction on the obverse where Herakles is returning to King Eurystheus with the Erymanthian boar.
