| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Diocletian facing right, depicted in the imperial military manner characteristic of the Tetrarchic period. The radiate crown, a defining attribute of the antoninianus denomination, surmounts the head. The cuirass is rendered in detail beneath the paludamentum (military cloak) fastened at the right shoulder. The encircling Latin legend reads IMP C C VAL DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with late third-century hammered production. |
