| Obverse description | Youthful draped bust of the personified Roman Senate facing right, with flowing hair and a wreath of laurel or grain, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic tradition. The effigy displays a draped shoulder, consistent with the allegorical representation of the Senate as a divine or semi-divine entity. The circular legend ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤοc ('Holy Senate') surrounds the bust in the field. |

| Reverse description | Homonoia (goddess of concord and unity) standing left, wearing a kalathos (basket crown) on her head and draped in a long chiton and himation. She extends her right hand over a small lighted altar holding a patera for libation, while her left arm cradles a large cornucopia. The composition is a standard provincial type evoking civic harmony. The legend ΕΠΙ ϹΤΡ ΦΙΛΑΔΕΛΦοΥ ΑΙΓΑΕΩΝ ('under strategos Philadelphos, of the Aegaeans') appears around the field. |
