| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Domna facing right, her hair elaborately waved and coiled at the nape in the characteristic Severan fashion. The legend ΙΟΥΛΙΑ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΗ encircles the portrait, identifying her as Julia Augusta. The die work, though now heavily worn, reflects the provincial mint's competent rendering of the empress's well-known portrait type. The flan is irregular, consistent with hammered provincial bronze production of the Severan period. |
