| Obverse description | Laureate bust of the emperor Tiberius facing right, draped at the shoulder, rendered in fine high relief with carefully articulated facial features characteristic of early Julio-Claudian portraiture. The laurel wreath is depicted with individual leaves and berries, encircling the imperial head in a classicizing Augustan style. The surrounding field carries the continuous circular legend TI CAESAR DIVI AVG F AVGVSTVS, reading from right to left in crisp Roman capitals. The portrait conveys imperial authority and dynastic legitimacy, closely echoing the idealized portraiture established under Augustus. A beaded border frames the entire obverse design. |
