| Reverse description | Caracalla, clad in military attire, stands to the right, raising his right hand in salutation or address and possibly holding a scroll; before him, Asclepius, the god of medicine, is seated to the left on a throne, extending a patera over a flaming altar and resting on his long serpent-entwined staff. The composition emphasizes the religious and civic prestige of Pergamum as a renowned centre of the Asclepius cult. The Greek legend encircles the scene, recording the name of the local strategos and the city's triple neocorate status. |
