| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Diocletian facing right, depicted with a short beard and wearing imperial armour with visible paludamentum at the left shoulder. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the robust, authoritative style characteristic of the Tetrarchic period. The surrounding legend reads IMP DIOCLETIANVS AVG, distributed along the periphery of the flan. The portrait exhibits the characteristic Tetrarchic artistic convention of idealized yet powerful frontality, emphasizing imperial authority over individual likeness. |
