| Obverse description | Laureate head of Domitian facing right, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Judaean civic coinage of the Flavian period. The effigy displays the laureate wreath clearly atop the head, with the neck truncation visible at the base. The surrounding field is worn, with the Greek legend partially visible along the periphery. The portrait conveys the standard imperial iconography adapted for local civic issue under Roman authority. |

Struck in year 19 of the reign of Agrippa II, this Tiberian bronze belongs to a period when the city was carefully navigating its position under Roman authority following the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Tiberias had surrendered to Vespasian without significant resistance in 67 CE, a calculated move that preserved the city and allowed Agrippa II — a client king who openly backed Rome throughout the revolt — to retain his authority over the region.
The ΕΤΟ ΙΘ dating formula anchors this piece precisely within Agrippa's regnal era, a chronological system that continued in use on Tiberian bronzes well into the Flavian period.
