| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of the emperor Caligula (Gaius Caesar) facing right, rendered in the provincial portrait style typical of Pontic civic coinage of the early imperial period. The legend ΓΑΙΟΣ ΚΑΙΣΑΡ runs in the field, identifying the emperor. The portrait displays the characteristic features associated with Caligula's early reign coinage, with a relatively youthful effigy. The flan is irregular, as is common for hammered provincial bronzes of this region and period. |
