| Obverse description | Bare or laureate head of Domitian as Caesar facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Cilician civic issues of the Flavian period. The portrait displays the characteristic features of the young Domitian, with a short legend in Greek partially visible in the field. The flan is irregular and the strike somewhat weak, consistent with local municipal production. |

| Additional information |
Augusta was a minor civic mint in Cilicia whose output under the Flavians was modest and geographically constrained in circulation. This piece falls within Titus's sole reign following Vespasian's death in June 79 AD — the same months that saw Vesuvius bury Pompeii and Herculaneum. Provincial bronzes from Cilician civic mints of this period survive in small numbers, largely because the region's output was never intended for wide redistribution and saw hard local use.
