| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing left, portrayed from the rear in a three-quarter perspective, with the radiate crown clearly visible above the head. The abbreviated Greek legend ΑΥ Κ Μ Α appears in the field, referencing the imperial titulature. The portrait exhibits the characteristic military presentation typical of Severan-era provincial bronze coinage, with pauldron and cuirass details rendered in low relief. The flan is irregular, as is common for hammered civic bronzes of Mesopotamian provincial mints. |
