| Obverse description | Radiate, cuirassed bust of Diocletian facing right, rendered in the robust late third-century imperial style. The emperor wears a spiky radiate crown — the defining characteristic of the antoninianus denomination — over short hair, with military cuirass visible at the truncation. The portrait is executed with firm, somewhat schematic engraving typical of the period's provincial workshop production. The circular Latin legend runs along the rim, beginning at the lower left. |
