| Reverse description | Three bound corn-ears (wheat stalks) tied together at their stems and fanning upward, a fertility symbol associated with the agricultural wealth of Cappadocia. The sheaf motif is centrally placed within the field, with the stalks splaying outward toward the upper portion of the flan. The Greek metropolitan and regnal year legend surrounds the device, indicating this was struck in year three (ET Γ) of Severus Alexander's reign. The reverse typology reflects the civic pride of Caesarea as a metropolis and its agricultural prosperity. |
