Obverse description Bare head of Augustus facing right, depicted with characteristic Julio-Claudian portraiture. The Greek legend KAIΣAΡ ΘEOY YIOΣ (Caesar, Son of the Divine) curves around the field, referencing Augustus's adoptive divine lineage from Julius Caesar. The portrait is rendered in the idealized Hellenistic tradition typical of provincial civic coinage from Macedonia during the early Imperial period.
