| Obverse description | Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, seen from the rear, rendered in the provincial style characteristic of Pontic civic coinage. The emperor's radiate crown is clearly delineated, conveying his imperial and quasi-divine status. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Greek script, identifying the ruler. The portrait exhibits the energetic, youthful features associated with Caracalla's early co-reign imagery. The overall execution is typical of the competent but informal hand of a provincial die-cutter. |
