| Obverse description | Laureate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, presented frontally with the torso slightly turned; the cuirass is ornamented with a gorgoneion at the centre of the breastplate, a characteristic detail reflecting the emperor's martial iconography. The legend runs around the bust in Greek characters, identifying the emperor by his full imperial titulature. The portrait displays the vigorous, thick-necked style typical of Caracalla's provincial coinage from Asia Minor. |
