| Obverse description | Youthful draped bust of the personified Senate (ϹΥΝΚΛΗΤΟϹ) facing right, with loosely curled hair and bare neck, rendered in the idealized Hellenistic tradition typical of provincial civic coinage. The effigy is set within a plain field, with the Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The portraiture conveys the allegorical dignity of the Roman Senate as a revered civic institution, a device commonly employed on issues from the Asian conventus under Commodus. |
