| Reverse description | Caracalla standing facing atop a quadriga advancing, his right arm raised in salute and his left hand grasping an eagle-tipped sceptre. The four horses are depicted in dynamic forward motion, conveying imperial triumph and authority. The composition reflects standard honorific iconography employed by the mint of Philadelphia for provincial medallions of the Severan period. The reverse legend, distributed in the field and along the border, identifies the local magistrate and the city's neocorate status. |
