| Obverse description | Bare laureate head of Augustus facing right, with legend ΣΕΒΑΣΤΟΣ partially visible in the field. An applied countermark depicting the radiate head of Apollo Lairbenos facing right is punched into the obverse field, characteristic of the sanctuary of Apollo Lairbenos near Hierapolis. The portrait exhibits the restrained classicizing style typical of early Julio-Claudian provincial bronze coinage of Phrygia. |
