| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, depicted from the rear in the so-called 'heroic' three-quarter perspective, emphasizing the military paludamentum and scaled armour. The portrait conveys the emperor's characteristic stern physiognomy. The circumferential Latin legend encircles the effigy. The flan is irregular and the surfaces heavily patinated with green and red corrosion products typical of provincial bronze coinage. |
