| Reverse description | An eagle displayed facing, with wings fully spread and head turned to the right, holding a wreath in its beak — a common reverse type on provincial coinage of the Roman Near East, symbolizing imperial power and divine favor. Between the eagle's legs appears a rectangular object or tabula of uncertain iconographic meaning, possibly a vexillum or altar. The Greek tribunician and consular titulature of Caracalla is rendered in the field and exergue around the eagle. The engraving, though worn, conveys the bold, frontal heraldic composition favored at Mesopotamian provincial mints. |
