| Beschrijving keerzijde | Caracalla, veiled and togate, stands facing left, pouring a libation from a patera held over a flaming tripod-altar in the foreground. Two togate figures stand behind him, while four additional figures are arranged in front; one of them holds a titulus inscribed with the ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ legend, and another is depicted sacrificing a bull. In the background rises a monumental octastyle temple set on a high podium, its columns rendered in perspective. The composition conveys an elaborate civic sacrificial ceremony, consistent with the city's neocorate status and the Homonoia theme. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ (Homonoia) type speaks to a formal concord agreement between Laodicea and one or more rival cities — a diplomatic ritual in which competing poleis of the Greek East publicly declared mutual harmony, often to curry favor with Rome or to resolve precedence disputes over neokorate status. Laodicea held the neokorate at least twice under Caracalla, and the magistrate named in the legend, L. Aelius Pegritos, served as Asiarch — a prestigious festival office tied to the imperial cult across the koinon of Asia.
At 44mm and nearly 46 grams, this is among the largest bronze denominations produced in the Lycus valley conventus. Such pieces rarely circulated in any meaningful sense; they functioned closer to presentation medallions within civic ceremonial life.
