| Reverse description | Laureate bust of Caracalla facing right, set before a crescent surmounting a filleted globe, a dynastic symbol associating the imperial family with celestial and lunar iconography. The legend is disposed in the field around the design elements. The reverse composition is characteristic of Carrhae civic coinage, which frequently employed astral symbolism reflecting the city's long association with lunar cult worship of the god Sin. The overall execution is provincial and somewhat coarse, with a dotted border partially visible on the irregular flan. |
