| Obverse description | Laureate head of Emperor Commodus facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Mesopotamian civic coinage. The radiate or laureate wreath is visible atop the imperial portrait, with the neck truncation at the lower field. The surrounding legend, partially preserved, reads ] ΚοΜοΔ[ facing outward along the coin's rim. The portrait displays the typical conventions of eastern provincial die-cutting, with a somewhat schematic treatment of facial features. |
