| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, seen from the rear, with paludamentum visible on the truncation. The effigy displays the characteristic youthful features of Caracalla in his earlier reign, with a bold laurel wreath encircling the head. The Greek legend runs around the periphery of the flan, identifying the emperor by his imperial nomenclature. The portrait is rendered in the provincial style typical of Pisidian civic coinage of the Severan period. |

| Additional information |
Tityassus was a minor Pisidian city whose civic coinage under Caracalla reflects the broader explosion of Greek imperial bronzes struck across Asia Minor during his reign — a period when dozens of small municipalities competed for imperial favor partly by issuing coins bearing the emperor's image. The city's output is scarce, and the Aulock corpus remains the primary reference for sorting its types.
