| Reverse description | Caracalla on horseback advancing right, raising his right arm in a gesture of authority toward a trophy mounted on a pole; at the base of the trophy a seated captive is bound, with a second captive standing nearby. To the left, Nike stands facing right, extending a wreath to crown the victorious emperor. The composition celebrates an imperial military triumph and is rendered in the ambitious, large-format style favoured by the Mytilene mint for its grandest civic emissions. |
