Reference(s) RIC II.1#312, OCRE#ric.2_1(2).dom.312
Obverse description Draped bust of Apollo facing right, with flowing hair and a laurel branch visible to the right of the bust. The portrait is rendered in the classical Flavian style, with the deity's characteristic youthful features. The surrounding legend, partially legible on this heavily worn and corroded specimen, reads IMP DOMIT AVG GERM COS XI. The obverse field shows significant patination and encrustation consistent with extended burial, though the bust remains identifiable in the central zone.
