| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Mamaea facing right, wearing a stephane (diadem crown), set within a dotted border. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic Alexandrian provincial style, with layered drapery visible at the shoulder. The encircling Greek legend reads ΙΟΥ ΜΑΜΑΙΑ ϹΕΒ ΜΗΤ ϹΕΒ Κ ϹΤΡΑ, identifying her as Julia Mamaea Augusta, Mother of the Augustus and of the Camps. The portrait conveys the formal imperial dignity associated with Severan-era provincial coinage from Egypt. |
