| Reverse description | Youthful bare-headed bust of Alexander the Great facing right, wearing oriental or Macedonian dress, presented as the heroic founder-ancestor of the city. The portrait is set within a plain border with the civic legend distributed in abbreviated segments across the field. The reverse celebrates the mythological lineage claimed by Capitolias, linking the city to the Macedonian conqueror. The die engraving is typical of Decapolis provincial bronze coinage of the Severan era. |
