| Obverse description | Confronted busts of Septimius Severus and Julia Domna: the laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of the emperor faces right, seen from the rear, while the draped bust of Julia Domna faces left. The two imperial effigies are rendered face-to-face in the distinctive provincial antithetical portrait convention. A Greek legend encircles the field, identifying both rulers by their imperial titulature. |
