| Beschrijving keerzijde | A caduceus, the herald's staff entwined with serpents and topped with wings, is depicted centrally in the field, flanked symmetrically by two cornucopias curving outward to either side, symbolising prosperity and abundance. The composition is set within a circular Greek legend distributed around the periphery of the flan. The reverse type reflects standard civic iconography of eastern provincial coinage under the Severan dynasty. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Caesarea Germanica, a small city in Bithynia on the Sangarius River, was one of dozens of provincial mints that seized on imperial portraiture as a tool of local political alignment — striking bronze for purely regional circulation while Rome handled silver and gold. Under Caracalla, provincial issues from Bithynia multiplied sharply, partly because his co-rule with Geta created competing loyalties that civic mints navigated carefully through portrait choice and titulature.
The reference V.2#69633 places this within Varbanov's corpus, where Caesarea Germanica's Caracalla bronzes are notably sparse in documented die studies.
