| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Maxentius facing right, with a short beard rendered in a stippled style typical of the Tetrarchic period. The emperor is depicted in military attire, with the paludamentum visible at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend IMP C MAXENTIVS P F AVG runs clockwise around the bust, separated from the bust by a beaded border. The portrait conveys the blocky, frontal aesthetic characteristic of early fourth-century Roman imperial coinage. |
