| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, portrayed in a restrained Classicizing style consistent with provincial Greek coinage of the Hadrianic period. The legend ΚΤΙϹΜΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟΥ ('Foundation of Augustus') encircles the portrait in Greek characters, referencing the city's foundation by Augustus after the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. The effigy is rendered with clean, unadorned features and no laurel wreath or diadem, presenting the deified founder in an idealized but austere manner. |
