| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Emperor Hadrian facing right, depicted with characteristic beard and imperial drapery. The effigy displays the conventional portraiture style of Hadrianic provincial coinage, with the laurel wreath rendered in relief. The Greek legend CEBACTOC (Sebastos, meaning 'The August') appears in the field, serving as the imperial epithet in lieu of a full Latin titulature. The flan is irregular, consistent with local hammered provincial mint production of the early second century CE. |
