| Beschrijving voorzijde | Confronted laureate, draped, and cuirassed busts of Caracalla and Geta facing one another, seen from behind, arranged within the field. The legend encircles the busts, invoking the imperial titles of both co-emperors. The portrait style reflects the provincial workshop tradition of Carian Stratonicea, with bold relief typical of Severan-era civic bronzes. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hecate, the principal deity of Stratonicea, stands facing with head turned to the left, wearing a kalathos (basket crown) atop her head. She holds a patera in one hand and a long torch in the other, with a lighted altar positioned at her feet. The civic legend of the magistrate Iuliados son of Hierokles encircles the type, identifying the issuing authority. The composition is characteristic of the city's devotion to Hecate as its divine patron, rendered in the robust style of second-to-third century Carian provincial coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Stratonicea, situated in Caria, was a city that leveraged its religious prestige — home to major cults of Zeus Chrysaoreus and Hecate at nearby Lagina — to negotiate favorable terms with successive Roman administrations. The magistrate name preserved in the legend, fragmentary and misspelled as the "sic" notation flags, is typical of provincial bronze where die cutters working from written instructions introduced errors that were never corrected between obverse and reverse pairing.
Coins of the Stratonicean civic series under Severus are sparsely represented in major collections, partly because the conventus of Alabanda produced far lower volumes than the dominant Lydian minting centers to the north.
