| Obverse description | Helmeted and mantled bust of the personification of Roma facing left, depicted in profile with a crested helmet and draped paludamentum. The legend VRBS ROMA arcs around the bust within the field. The portrait is rendered in the late Roman imperial style, with bold relief characteristic of Constantinian-era coinage. The coin exhibits the irregular flan typical of struck bronze nummi of this period. |
