| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla presented to the left, viewed from the rear, rendered in the typical provincial style of the early third century AD. The portrait displays the characteristic military paludamentum fastened at the shoulder, with the cuirass visible beneath. The encircling Greek legend names the emperor in his full imperial titulature. The flan shows heavy patination consistent with prolonged circulation. |
