Licinius Cornelius Saloninus Valerianus) facing right, rendered in the frontal three-quarter perspective typical of mid-third-century provincial coinage. The portrait displays pauldron detailing on the cuirass and drapery folds over the left shoulder. The Greek legend encircles the bust within a beaded border. |
