| Obverse description | Laureate head of Tiberius facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Thracian civic coinage of the Julio-Claudian period. The emperor's portrait displays characteristic features with a laurel wreath crowning the head. The Greek legend ΤΙΒΕΡΙΩ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΩ appears in the field, identifying the portrait as a dedicatory inscription to Tiberius Augustus. The flan is irregular, as is common for hammered provincial bronzes of this era. |
