| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Emperor, identified as Caracalla, is depicted on horseback galloping vigorously to the right, his right arm raised and poised to hurl a spear downward at a fallen enemy. The vanquished figure is shown seated or prostrate on the ground beneath the horse, turned to the right, in a pose of submission or defeat. This equestrian victory type is a well-established motif in provincial Roman coinage of the Severan era, emphasizing imperial military prowess. The reverse legend, distributed around the field, identifies the issuing city and the local civic era year. The composition reflects the dynamic, expressive style characteristic of Pontic provincial bronzes. |

Amisus on the Black Sea coast held the rare distinction of being a free city under Roman imperial administration — a status granted or confirmed by Pompey after his reorganization of Pontus in 64 BC, and fiercely maintained through the imperial period. The civic era date on this piece, year 245, reckons from that Pompeian settlement, a dating convention that Amisus used with conspicuous civic pride to remind anyone handling its coins exactly how long the city had been answering to no one's calendar but its own.
