| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing left, rendered in three-quarter view from the front, with the emperor depicted bearing a spear in his right hand and a shield on his left arm decorated with an aegis motif. The obverse legend ΑΝΤΩΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒΑϹΤ curves around the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his Antonine dynastic name and the title Sebastos (Augustus). The portrait reflects the vigorous, martial style characteristic of Severan provincial coinage from Pontic mints, emphasizing the military authority of the young Caesar. |
