| Beschrijving voorzijde | Confronted jugate busts of Caracalla, laureate and draped, on the left, and Geta, bare-headed and draped, on the right, facing one another; an eagle displayed between the two imperial effigies, serving as a dynastic and divine symbol separating the portraits. The flan is irregular and the die work is characteristic of provincial Mesopotamian coinage of the Severan period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A legionary vexillum (military standard) depicted upright at centre, shown as a rectangular cloth panel suspended from a transverse bar atop a pole; the standard is flanked by additional military insignia or spears, consistent with Severan provincial military imagery. The numeral III appears to the right of the standard in the field, likely denoting the legio III Parthica or a related unit garrisoned in Mesopotamia. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhesaena, modern Ras al-Ayn on the Syrian-Turkish border, was a strategically critical waystation on the road between the Euphrates and the Tigris. Caracalla passed through the region during his eastern campaigns, and local bronze issues of this kind were almost certainly struck to facilitate troop pay and market activity around the garrison rather than for broad civic circulation. The city's mint output under the Severans is poorly documented, and die studies remain incomplete.
