| 背面描述 | Hermes, the divine messenger, depicted standing facing with head turned to the right, his athletic nude figure partially covered by a chlamys draped over and hanging from his left arm. In his right hand he holds the caduceus, the winged staff entwined with serpents emblematic of his divine office, while his left arm supports the flowing military cloak. The city ethnic legend ΚΑΛΧΑΔΟΝΙΩΝ curves around the reverse field, identifying the issuing civic authority of Chalcedon in Bithynia. |

Chalcedon occupied one of the most strategically valuable positions in the ancient world — the eastern shore of the Bosphorus directly opposite Byzantium — and yet the city consistently played second fiddle to its neighbor. When Septimius Severus besieged and punished Byzantium in 196 AD for backing his rival Pescennius Niger, Chalcedon had backed the winning side, and its civic coinage under Caracalla reflects a period of relative local stability and continued minting activity that Byzantium itself could not match in those years.
