| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Septimius Severus facing right, with a short curled beard rendered in the characteristic provincial style. The emperor's portrait features a wreath of laurel leaves tied at the back, with visible drapery at the truncation of the neck. The legend runs partially around the periphery of the flan in Greek characters. The die work is bold and deeply struck, typical of the Petraean civic coinage of the Severan period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Petra's civic bronze coinage under Septimius Severus reflects the city's status as a Roman provincial capital long past its Nabataean peak — by the time these were struck, the caravan trade that had made Petra fabulously wealthy had largely shifted north to Palmyra. The Greek tribunician legend places this squarely within the eastern provincial minting tradition, where Latin imperial titulature was routinely rendered in Greek for local circulation.
