| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Diocletian facing right, depicted in three-quarter front view. The effigy presents the emperor in military attire with visible pauldron detailing on the cuirass. The surrounding legend in Greek characters reads Α Κ Γ ΟΥΑΛ ΔΙΟΚΛΗΤΙΑΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait style is characteristic of Alexandrian tetradrachm coinage of the late third century, with broad facial features and a robust neck typical of the period. |
