| Reverse description | The sacred Mount Argaeus, the prominent volcanic peak venerated at Caesarea, is depicted as a conical mountain surmounted by three standing figures. Below the mountain, two prize wreaths or agonistic crowns flank a small temple or shrine between them, referencing the city's neocorate status. The composition is characteristic of Caesarean civic coinage under the Severan dynasty, emphasizing the city's religious and civic prestige. The reverse legend encircles the design, recording the metropolis title and the regnal year. |
