| Obverse description | Youthful bare head of the city-god Abydos facing right, with curly hair rendered in fine strands, set within a dotted border. The effigy exhibits the idealized, quasi-divine portraiture typical of provincial civic coinage of the Antonine period. The Greek legend ΑΒΥΔΟϹ runs along the left field, identifying the personified eponymous hero of the city. |
