| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Antoninus Pius facing right, wearing paludamentum over the cuirass. The imperial effigy is rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style typical of the mid-second century. The encircling legend in Greek identifies the emperor with his full titulature. The portrait displays the characteristic mature features of Antoninus Pius, with a short beard and laurel wreath crowning his head. |
