| Beschrijving keerzijde | The emperor Caracalla stands in a quadriga advancing left, holding a long sceptre in his right hand, depicted in the triumphal mode. To the left, a soldier marches forward with head turned right, bearing a vexillum. In the background, a trophy mounted on a pedestal is flanked by two captive figures, emphasising the military victory theme. The reverse legend distributed in the field names the presiding strategos and the civic authority of Mytilene. The composition is ambitious in scale, characteristic of the large-module civic bronzes struck under the Severan dynasty in Asia Minor. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mytilene retained unusual civic autonomy well into the imperial period, and the paired magistrate formula on this issue — naming both a strategos and a secondary official — reflects the city's stubborn adherence to Hellenistic administrative conventions long after most Aegean cities had simplified their coin legends to a single eponymous authority. At 51 grams, these large Lesbian bronzes were almost certainly used for local festival distribution or civic largesse rather than daily exchange.
