Obverse description Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized Augustan portrait tradition. The legend ΚΤΙϹΜΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟΥ (meaning 'Foundation of Augustus') encircles the bust, referencing Augustus as the founder of Nicopolis. The portrait displays characteristic simplified provincial die-cutting, with the flan showing typical irregular casting. The coin was struck under Hadrian but celebrates the city's Augustan foundation.
