The effigy displays finely engraved laurel wreath leaves radiating from the crown of the head, with naturalistic facial features and short curly hair visible above the ear. The encircling Latin legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan, separated from the portrait by a beaded border. The bust is presented in the tradition of imperial portraiture, conveying the dignity and authority of Titus as Caesar. |
