| Obverse description | Bare or laureate head of Augustus facing left, with a cornucopia visible behind the portrait in the left field. The effigy is rendered in the naturalistic Roman imperial style characteristic of Augustan provincial coinage. The legend IMPE AVGVSTI arcs around the portrait, affirming the authority of the emperor. The flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered provincial bronzes of this period. |
