| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Maximinus I (Thrax) facing right, presented from a rear three-quarter perspective, a characteristic provincial rendering of the imperial effigy. The emperor's strong facial features are rendered in typical Severan-era provincial style. The surrounding field carries the Greek imperial titulature legend. A beaded border frames the composition. |
