| Obverse description | Draped bust of the Roman Senate personified, facing right, with idealized male features rendered in the Greek provincial style. The legend ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ (Sacred Senate) surrounds the bust within a dotted border. The drapery is rendered with fine linear detail across the truncation, and the hair is depicted in short, layered locks characteristic of early second-century provincial coinage. |
