| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, portrayed from behind, conveying the characteristic three-quarter rear view typical of provincial bronze coinage of this period. The effigy displays the emperor's paludamentum fastened at the shoulder and the folds of his cuirass rendered in low relief. A Greek legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show heavy green patina consistent with extended burial. |
