| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Lucius Verus facing right, rendered in the provincial style typical of Decapolis civic coinage. The portrait displays the emperor's characteristic full beard and curled hair, with paludamentum visible at the shoulder. A Greek imperial legend partially preserved around the periphery reads A ΚΑΙϹΑΡ ... ΑΥΡΗ[, identifying the ruler as Caesar Aurelius. The flan is broad but irregular, as is typical of provincial bronze issues of the Antonine period. |
