| Obverse description | Draped bust of Julia Mamaea, mother of Severus Alexander, facing right, with hair neatly waved and drawn back in the characteristic Severan court style. The effigy is rendered in fine provincial style, with drapery visible at the shoulder and chest. A circular Greek legend surrounds the portrait, identifying her as Augusta and Mother of the Camp. The overall treatment reflects the elevated imperial status accorded to Julia Mamaea during her son's reign. |
