| Reverse description | Laureate head of the Roman Emperor Caracalla facing right, rendered in a bold, authoritative portrait style consistent with Roman imperial imagery. A symbol appears in the field before the bust, varying by emission: a star, an eagle, or a trident, each denoting a distinct issue of the same year. The Bosporan regnal date ΘΦ (509 of the Bosporan era, corresponding to 213 AD) is inscribed below the portrait. The reverse design reflects the close political relationship between the Bosporan Kingdom and the Roman Empire, with the Bosporan king honoring the reigning emperor on his coinage. |
