| Obverse description | Draped bust of Libertas facing right, her elaborately dressed hair adorned with a laurel wreath and a cluster of grape-like ornaments at the back, with a beaded necklace visible at the neck. The hair is rendered in fine parallel strands swept upward and coiled, reflecting the skilled engraving style of the late Roman Republic. The legend LIBERT runs to the left of the bust and Q•CASSIVS to the right, both in crisp Latin capitals, identifying the moneyer Quintus Cassius Longinus. The field is plain, and the entire design is enclosed within a delicate beaded border. |
