| Reverse description | Jugate busts of the Roman co-rulers facing right: the laureate head of Septimius Severus at left, and the laureate, draped bust of Caracalla at right, seen from behind in the characteristic Bosporan dual-portrait convention. A crescent symbol appears to the left in the field. The Pontic era date ςqΥ (= year 496, corresponding to AD 199-200) is inscribed below the busts. The composition reflects the Bosporan kingdom's political alignment with Rome, blending local and imperial iconographic traditions. |
