Reverse description Draped bust of Lucius Passienus Rufus facing right, depicted as proconsul and imperator, rendered in a style consistent with Augustan-era provincial portraiture. The surrounding Latin legend reads L PASS VS RVFVS IMP, identifying the subject as Lucius Passienus Rufus in his capacity as commander. The field is largely plain, with the legend distributed around the portrait within a dotted border. The broad, irregular flan shows characteristic features of locally produced colonial bronze coinage from Thaena.
