| Obverse description | Confronted laureate, draped, and cuirassed busts of co-emperors Valerian I and Gallienus face one another on opposite sides of the field, with a smaller bare-headed, draped, and cuirassed bust of the Caesar Valerian II positioned between them, facing right. The composition is a rare triple imperial portrait arrangement, emphasizing the dynastic legitimacy of the joint Valerian-Gallienus reign. The encircling legend names all three imperial figures in Greek. The busts display typical mid-third-century Roman provincial portraiture conventions, with detailed rendering of military cuirass and imperial drapery. |
