| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Gallienus facing right, rendered in three-quarter view from the rear, the radiate crown prominently detailed with multiple spikes. The emperor's paludamentum (military cloak) is visible over the cuirass, conveying imperial and martial authority. The circular Greek legend surrounds the bust, reading ΑΥΤ Κ Π ΛΙΚ ΓΑΛΛΙΗΝΟϹ ΑΥ, abbreviated titulature proclaiming his full imperial style. The portrait displays the typical provincial die-cutting style of the Sardis mint, with boldly rendered facial features and carefully articulated dress. |
