| Obverse description | Modius (grain measure) or altar depicted in the central field, rendered in a simple, schematic style typical of Augustan bronze coinage. The design element rises prominently from the flat flan, surrounded by a circular border. The obverse legend naming the moneyers Apronius and Messalla runs around the periphery in bold Latin capitals. The overall style is characteristic of the austere, functional aesthetic of Augustan small denomination coinage struck by the tresviri monetales. |
