Obverse description Youthful, laureate head of the Demos (personification of the people of Thyatira) facing right, rendered in the classical Antonine style. The legend ΔΗΜΟϹ ΘΥΑΤΙΡΗΝΩΝ runs around the periphery in Greek characters. A beaded border frames the entire design. The flan bears a post-antique hole pierced at the lower center, and the surfaces show dark green patination consistent with prolonged burial.
