| Obverse description | Bare head of Lucius Aelius Caesar facing right, with elaborately curled hair and short beard rendered in finely engraved detail characteristic of Hadrianic court portraiture. The hair is arranged in tight ringlets across the crown and temples, with wavy locks falling over the nape. The portrait is set within a beaded border, with the legend encircling the field. The effigy conveys a youthful, idealized likeness consistent with Aelius's status as Hadrian's designated heir. |
