| Obverse description | Bare head of Augustus facing right, rendered in the idealized portraiture characteristic of early Augustan provincial coinage. A lituus, the curved augural staff symbolizing priestly authority, is depicted before the imperial effigy. The Latin legend arcs around the periphery of the field, identifying the issuing city and the emperor. The flan displays the irregular, slightly convex profile typical of hammered provincial bronze issues from Africa Proconsularis. A dotted border frames the design. |
