| Reverse description | Caracalla on horseback advancing to the right, depicted in dynamic martial pose as he brandishes a spear poised to strike a fallen enemy beneath the horse's hooves. The composition conveys imperial military prowess and dynastic legitimacy, a common iconographic theme on Severan provincial bronze coinage. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, records the name and offices of the presiding magistrate, Tiberius Claudius Zenon, identified as high priest and twice archineocoros of the Aphrodisians. The coin's reverse surface shows significant wear and patination consistent with heavy circulation. The scene is executed in the robust, if somewhat provincial, engraving style characteristic of Aphrodisian civic issues. |
