| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Maesa facing right, her hair elaborately waved and arranged in the characteristic Severan style, bound with a diadem. The legend encircles the effigy, reading ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ΜΑΙϹΑ ϹΕ in Greek characters. The portrait displays the refined provincial die-cutting style typical of Moesian civic coinage of the early third century AD. |
