| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Septimius Severus facing right, depicted from the rear in the characteristic three-quarter back view. The emperor's portrait is rendered in the provincial style typical of Carian civic coinage, with the laurel wreath and military paraphernalia emphasizing his imperial authority. The Greek legend encircles the bust along the periphery of the flan. |

| Additional information |
Attuda was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage under Severus was administered by a local magistrate — the grammateus, or secretary — whose name appears prominently in the legend. Glykon, son of Philopator, held that office and sponsored this issue at his own expense, a practice of civic euergetism that simultaneously advertised personal prestige and municipal loyalty to Rome. These magistrate-signed bronzes from the Conventus of Alabanda are thinly documented; die linkage studies across the conventus remain incomplete.
