| Obverse description | Turreted and draped bust of the deified Senate (Senatus) facing right, personified as a mature male figure wearing a mural crown, rendered in the provincial Greek style characteristic of Carian civic coinage. The legend ΙΕΡΑ ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ ('Sacred Senate') is inscribed in the field, identifying the divine personification. The portrait exhibits the heavy drapery folds typical of Severan-period provincial bronzes from Asia Minor. |
