| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, seen from behind, with the paludamentum visible over the left shoulder and the cuirass elaborately rendered. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic short beard and curly hair beneath the laurel wreath. A Greek legend encircles the bust in the outer field, identifying the emperor by his imperial titulature. The flan is broad and irregular, typical of provincial bronzes struck at Amisus, with a dark patina overlying the high-relief portrait. |
