| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Hadrian facing right, depicted three-quarter from the rear, with the emperor's characteristic beard and curled hair rendered in the Hellenistic provincial style. The paludamentum is visible over the left shoulder, its folds delineated with incised lines. The surrounding field carries the Greek imperial titulature arranged as a circular legend. The die work reflects the competent but provincial craftsmanship typical of Achaean civic bronzes of the Hadrianic period. |
