| Obverse description | Bare-headed and cuirassed bust of Philip II facing right, rendered in three-quarter frontal view, with a gorgoneion displayed prominently on the breastplate of the cuirass. The portrait is executed in the typical Alexandrian provincial style, with carefully rendered hair and a youthful, idealised physiognomy. The obverse legend runs around the periphery of the field, identifying the emperor by name and titles. A dotted border frames the entire design. |
