| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla facing right, the emperor portrayed with youthful features and short beard, drapery visible on the left shoulder. The effigy is rendered in the characteristic provincial style of Mesopotamian coinage, with bold, slightly crude engraving. The Greek legend encircles the bust within a beaded border, reading ΑΥΤ Κ Μ Α ϹΕΥ ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟϹ ϹΕΒ, identifying the emperor by his titles and name. |
