| Obverse description | Diademed and draped bust of Herennia Etruscilla, empress consort of Trajan Decius, facing right. The effigy displays the characteristic stephane diadem and draped shoulders typical of imperial consort portraiture of the mid-third century. The peripheral Greek legend encircles the bust, reading ΕΡΕΝ ΕΤΡΟΥϹΚΙΛΛΑ ϹΕ, identifying the empress by name and title. The flan is irregular and the surfaces exhibit heavy patination consistent with prolonged burial, obscuring fine detail. |
