背面描述	Orpheus seated upon rocky ground, turned to the right, playing a lyre held in his hands, with various animals gathered around him in a scene evoking the mythological charming power of his music. The composition fills the broad flan in typical Alexandrian fashion, with figures rendered in medium relief. The regnal year legend appears in the field. The reverse type reflects the Hellenistic cultural milieu of Roman Alexandria and the local preference for mythological subjects on civic bronze coinage.

附加信息	Regnal year 21 of Caracalla's Egyptian era places this issue squarely in the months following the Constitutio Antoniniana of 212 AD, which extended Roman citizenship to virtually all free inhabitants of the empire. Alexandria's mint continued producing its own bronze civic coinage regardless — Egyptian provincial bronze operated entirely outside the Roman imperial system, denominated in drachms and obols rather than asses, and the city retained that monetary distinctiveness until Diocletian's reforms forcibly unified the currency in 296 AD.
