| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cybele, the Phrygian mother goddess, enthroned and seated left upon a high-backed throne, her right hand extending a patera and her left arm resting upon a tympanum. A lion, her sacred animal and attribute, reclines at her feet to the left. The composition reflects the deep religious significance of Cybele's cult at Cotiaeum in Phrygia, a region closely associated with her worship. The reverse legend in Greek encircles the central type, naming the presiding magistrate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cotiaeum, modern Kütahya in western Phrygia, was a prosperous city sitting on major road routes connecting the Aegean coast to the Anatolian interior. Its coins under Caracalla name a local magistrate — the archon Quadratus — whose tenure can only be approximately dated within the co-regency and sole reign period. Civic bronze of this type was struck for local exchange and religious festival use, never circulating far beyond the issuing city's own markets.
The ΕΠΙ ΚΟΔΡΑΤΟΥ formula places administrative responsibility squarely on the named official, a Greek civic tradition that doubled as a dating mechanism when consular years went unrecorded.
