| Obverse description | Jugate bare heads of the three Triumvirs — Marcus Antonius, Octavianus, and Lepidus — facing right, rendered in low relief in the provincial Greek hammered style. The portraits are arranged in close succession, with the nearest figure's features most prominent. The flan is irregular with a heavily patinated surface, rendering individual portrait details difficult to distinguish. |
