| Obverse description | A simpulum (libation ladle), a Roman priestly implement, depicted in profile at center of the field, rendered in a plain, linear style typical of Judaean provincial coinage. The instrument is presented with its handle extending to the right. Surrounding the central device, a Greek legend reading ΤΙΒΕΡΙΟΥ ΚΑΙCΑΡΟC curves around the upper and lower periphery, identifying the coin as struck under the authority of Tiberius Caesar. The date LΙς (year 16 of Tiberius) appears within the legend. The flan is irregular and the strike is characteristically crude, consistent with hammered provincial bronze coinage of this period. |
