| Obverse description | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Romulus Augustulus facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial style with a pearl diadem adorning the head. The emperor is depicted with paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, conveying martial authority. Surrounding the effigy, the Latin legend reads D N ROMVLVS AGVSTVS P F AVG distributed around the periphery of the flan. The portrait, though stylistically simplified relative to earlier imperial coinage, retains the essential iconographic conventions of fifth-century Roman gold coinage. The flan is slightly irregular, as is characteristic of hammered tremisses of this period. |
