| Obverse description | Lion's head facing right, rendered with bold, stylized mane radiating around the face in a distinctive artistic manner evoking the emblem of Africa. The design is set within a plain field. The surrounding circular legend reads L CLODI MACRI S C, referencing the usurper Lucius Clodius Macer and the senatorial authority (Senatus Consultum). The overall die work is characteristic of the hastily produced provincial coinage struck under Macer's rebellion in AD 68. |
