背面描述	Central device composed of a rosette formed by a cluster of dots, enclosed within a filleted crescent with horns pointing upward, all set within a dotted border on an irregular flan. The crescent symbol is a characteristic emblematic type of the Carrhae mint, referencing the city's long association with lunar deity Sin. The colonial legend is distributed around the central device in the field. The strike is typical of the small civic bronzes issued under Elagabalus at this eastern colonial mint.

附加信息	Carrhae's civic bronze issues under Elagabalus are among the more obscure products of the Roman provincial system in Mesopotamia — a region the emperor never visited and barely administered. The city itself carried enormous psychological weight in Roman memory: it was outside Carrhae in 53 BC that Crassus suffered the catastrophic defeat against the Parthians that cost Rome seven legions and, according to ancient sources, the capture of the standards that Augustus later recovered through diplomacy. The colonial title encoded in the legend reflects Caracalla's grant of colonia status to Carrhae, a privilege Elagabalus inherited without ceremony.
