| Obverse description | Bare or lightly laureate head of Nero facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek style with naturalistic portraiture typical of Julio-Claudian coinage. The emperor's youthful features are depicted with slightly wavy hair combed forward over the brow. The surrounding field shows wear consistent with circulation. The obverse legend ΝΕΡΩΝΙ ΑΠΟΛΛΩΝΙ ΚΤΙϹΤΗ encircles the portrait, identifying Nero in the dative as founder and associating him with Apollo. |
