| Beschrijving voorzijde | Radiate and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, depicted in three-quarter view from the front, with a prominent radiate crown of spiked rays surmounting the head. The emperor wears military cuirass with detailed pteryges visible at the shoulder, conveying an imperial martial character typical of Severan provincial coinage. The Greek legend ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙ ΑΝΤΩΝΕΙΝΟϹ ϹΕ (Imperator Caesar Antoninus Augustus) runs around the periphery within a beaded border. The portrait style is characteristic of the eastern provincial workshops, rendered with a bold, somewhat schematic treatment of the facial features. The overall fabric is broad and irregularly flan, consistent with hammered billon tetradrachm-weight issues of Mesopotamian mints. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rhesaena was a Mesopotamian city whose civic coinage rights were granted under Roman provincial administration — a relatively late entrant into the provincial series, producing issues almost exclusively during the Severan period. The reverse legend referencing Caracalla's fourth consulship dates this piece precisely to 213 AD, one of the few hard chronological anchors available within this mint's compressed output. Rhesaena's entire known civic series spans barely two reigns, making any attribution from this mint scarcer than its individual survival rates suggest.
