| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, portrayed with characteristic full beard and seen from the rear, revealing the musculature of the cuirass in fine detail. The imperial effigy is rendered in the robust provincial style typical of Moesian civic bronzes. A beaded border frames the design, and the Greek legend runs around the periphery identifying the emperor by his abbreviated imperial titulature. |
