Obverse description Central field bearing the Greek legend ΤΙΒ ΚΑΙ CΑΡ (abbreviating Tiberius Caesar) arranged in three lines within a laurel wreath. The wreath is tied at the base with a decorative X-shaped bow, its leaves rendered in a stylized manner typical of Judaean provincial coinage of the early first century AD. No portrait or figurative device appears; the design is entirely epigraphic, consistent with the aniconic conventions observed under the Roman prefects of Judaea.
