| Obverse description | Central device is a modius (grain measure) depicted in three-quarter perspective, rendered in bold relief against a plain field. A wreath or laurel branch appears above the modius, serving as a decorative element framing the top of the design. The circular legend runs along the coin's periphery, naming the moneyers responsible for this issue. The overall style is characteristic of Augustan-era senatorial bronze coinage, with a straightforward, unadorned composition emphasizing the symbolic device. |
