| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Faustina II facing right, her hair elaborately coifed in the fashion typical of the Antonine period. The effigy displays the characteristic portraiture associated with the empress as Augusta, with drapery rendered across the shoulder. The encircling Greek legend reads ΦΑΥϹΤΕΙΝΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ, identifying the subject as Faustina Augusta. The coin is heavily worn, with the relief significantly flattened, though the essential features of the portrait remain discernible. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aphrodisias enjoyed an unusually privileged relationship with Rome — the city had received a formal letter of friendship from Julius Caesar and was later granted tax immunity and autonomy by Augustus, who had a particular devotion to the cult of Aphrodite and considered her his divine ancestress. That standing gave the city's mint unusual latitude. The inscription ΤΚ ΖΗ ΑΝΕΘΗ records a civic dedication, almost certainly tied to the local neokorate or temple cult administration rather than imperial directive.
Provincial bronze of this type was produced for strictly local circulation within the Alabanda conventus district.
