| Obverse description | Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Philip I facing right, rendered in three-quarter view seen from the rear, conveying a sense of depth characteristic of provincial die-cutting of the mid-third century. The emperor's paludamentum is visible over the cuirass, and the laureate wreath crowns the head in the imperial tradition. The encircling Greek legend runs along the periphery of the flan. The portrait style reflects the robust, somewhat idealized treatment typical of Epirote provincial bronzes struck under Philip I. |
