| Obverse description | Crude barbarian imitation of a laureate bust of Tiberius facing right, rendered in a schematic, degenerate style characteristic of Germanic provincial copies. The portrait retains the general outline of an imperial effigy with a stylized neck and facial profile, though the workmanship is rough and the features are simplified. A garbled Latin legend runs around the periphery, imitating the imperial titulature of Tiberius but rendered in an illiterate or debased form. The overall style reflects a second- or third-generation copy far removed from the Lugdunum prototype. |
