| Reversbeschreibung | Eagle displayed, seen from the front with wings spread wide, head turned to the left, holding a wreath in its beak. A crescent is prominently placed between the eagle's legs, and a star appears in the upper right field. The reverse legend ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑ ΤΟ Δ, recording Caracalla's fourth consulship and tribunician power, is distributed around the design in the field. The eagle type is characteristic of the civic coinage of Carrhae in Mesopotamia and reflects strong local religious and iconographic traditions. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Carrhae occupies a particular place in Roman memory as the site of Crassus's catastrophic defeat by the Parthians in 53 BC, a wound the Romans never quite stopped picking at. By Caracalla's reign the city had become a key frontier garrison town, and its mint produced civic coinage under the watchful eye of a dynasty obsessed with the eastern campaigns. Caracalla himself died near Carrhae in 217 AD, killed by a soldier while relieving himself on the road to Edessa — an inglorious end for an emperor who had spent years cultivating a martial image on the very coins this mint was striking.
