| Obverse description | Central device depicting a rostrum tridens (ship's prow with three prongs) facing left, rendered in low relief in the hammered style characteristic of Augustan bronze coinage. The legend APRONIVS MESSALLA IIIVIR is disposed around the periphery, naming the two moneyers Apronius and Messalla in their capacity as tresviri monetales responsible for the Roman mint. The flan is irregular and slightly uneven, consistent with hand-struck production. No portrait appears on this denomination; the type follows the aniconic tradition of the Augustan quadrans series. The field is plain, with no exergual line or additional decorative elements. |
