| Obverse description | Laureate head of the emperor Vespasian facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of the Lydian mint at Sardis. The portrait displays characteristic Flavian physiognomy with a broad forehead and strong jaw. The encircling Greek legend reads ΑΥΤΟΚ ΚΑΙϹ ΟΥΕϹΠΑϹΙΑΝΩ in the dative case, honouring the emperor as Autocrator Caesar Vespasianus. The flan is irregular in shape, as is customary for locally struck provincial bronze issues of this period. |
