| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of the emperor Caligula (Gaius Caesar Germanicus) facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Lydian civic coinage. The portrait exhibits characteristic features of early Julio-Claudian portraiture, with a short neck truncation. A Greek legend encircles the effigy, reading ΓΑΙΟϹ ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΟϹ ΝΕΟΚΑΙϹΑΡΕΩΝ, identifying the emperor and the issuing city. The flan is irregular, as is typical of provincial bronze coinage of this period. |
