Beschrijving voorzijde Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, rendered in three-quarter frontal view, with a gorgoneion (Medusa head) prominently displayed on the breastplate of the cuirass. The imperial legend encircles the bust, identifying the emperor by his full titulature. The portrait reflects the vigorous, somewhat idealized style typical of Severan provincial bronzes from Phrygia.

Aanvullende informatie

Acmonea was a minor Phrygian city whose civic coinage under the Severan dynasty reflects the broader boom in provincial bronze production across Asia Minor — a period when hundreds of small cities competed for imperial favor partly by placing the emperor's image on locally struck currency. The city's issues for Caracalla are relatively scarce, and the V.2 reference places this squarely within a catalogued but sparsely populated series.

Phrygian civic bronzes of this period were struck under the authority of local magistrates whose names occasionally appear in the coin legends — a detail worth checking against the die record for this specific type.
