| Obverse lettering | ΤΙΒΕΡΙΩ ΚΑΙΣΑΡΙ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΩ ΕΠΙ ΛΑΧΗΤΙ (Translation: to Tiberius Caesar Augustus, under Laches) |
| Reverse description | Bearded and heavily veiled head of the Roman Senate personified, facing right, the thick veil falling in deeply incised folds across the neck and shoulders, a hallmark of senatorial iconographic convention in provincial Greek coinage. The beard is rendered with curling locks, lending the portrait a dignified and authoritative character. The surrounding Greek legend, disposed along the dotted circular border, reads ΣΥΝΚΛΗΤΩ ΚΡΗΤΕΣ ΚΥΔΩΝΕΑΤΩΝ, identifying this issue as a dedication to the Senate by the Cretan people of Cydonia. The composition reflects the city's formal expression of loyalty to both the Roman emperor and the Senate during the Tiberian period. |
