Æ14 - Septimius Severus ΜΗΤΡΟ ΚΑΡΡΑ

Carrhae is remembered above all for the catastrophic Roman defeat of 53 BC, when Crassus lost seven legions to Parthian horse archers on the plain outside the city. Septimius Severus, who campaigned aggressively in Mesopotamia and briefly sacked Ctesiphon in 197–198 AD, elevated Carrhae's civic status — the ΜΗΤΡΟ legend reflects a metropolis designation likely granted during or shortly after those campaigns.

At 1.62g and 14mm, this is a minor civic bronze of the sort produced in enormous quantities for local exchange. Survival in any condition is unremarkable; the historical weight of the mint city is not.
