| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in low relief with a broad neck and short hair indicated by incuse strokes. The portrait is executed in a provincial style typical of Near Eastern civic bronzes of the 2nd to 3rd century AD. The field is plain and largely smooth, with no visible legend or border. |
