| Reverse description | Facing head of a deity or civic divinity, rendered frontally in the local Punic artistic tradition, with crude but expressive features visible despite heavy wear. The frontal facing head type is characteristic of Punic and Neo-Punic civic bronze coinage from North African colonial mints of the Augustan period. The field around the head is largely plain, with corrosion and flan irregularities obscuring finer details. This reverse type reflects the indigenous artistic conventions maintained by Thaena alongside Roman imperial obverse portraiture. |
