Reverse description The Emperor Caracalla, depicted as an heroic military commander in full armour with paludamentum billowing behind him, rides a prancing horse to the right. He raises his right arm to brandish a spear downward at a lion beneath the horse's hooves, evoking the imagery of imperial virtus and dominion over nature. The composition is dynamic, filling the broad flan, with the Greek legend distributed across the field in two registers identifying the local magistrate and the neocorate status of the city.
