| Obverse description | Bare head of Tiberius facing right, rendered in the typical Julio-Claudian portrait style with short, layered hair combed forward over the brow. The effigy is depicted in profile with a strong, idealized jawline consistent with imperial coinage of the period. The Greek legend ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ (Augustus) is partially visible in the field, serving as the imperial title rather than a personal name. The flan is slightly irregular and the surfaces show typical provincial patination. |

| Additional information |
Dionysopolis in Phrygia was a minor civic mint that struck bronze almost exclusively under Roman imperial authority, relying on the conventus system — the circuit courts run by the Roman governor at Apamea — as its administrative frame of reference. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, Apollodotos, appears here for a fourth term, an unusually extended tenure that hints at either concentrated local oligarchic control or a mint operating in sporadic, interrupted campaigns across Tiberius's long reign.
