AR27 - Caracalla ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤΟϹ ΤΟ Δ

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.
