| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Salonina facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and secured with a diadem, rendered in the provincial style typical of Epirote civic coinage of the mid-third century AD. The effigy occupies the central field, with the surrounding Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The portrait conveys the imperial dignity of the Augusta through the treatment of drapery folds visible at the truncation. The legend ΚΟΡ ϹΑΛΩΝΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒΑ runs around the bust, identifying the empress with her honorific title Sebaste (Augusta). |
