Reverse description An eagle stands facing on a filleted thyrsus, its wings fully displayed in the characteristic Syrian tetradrachm style, with the head turned to the right and a wreath held in the beak. The composition is bold and well-centered, reflecting the artistic conventions of the eastern mint series under the Severan dynasty. The abbreviated Greek legend ΔΗΜΑΡ ЄΧ ΥΠΑΤΟ Δ appears in the field, rendering Caracalla's tribunician and consular powers in standard epigraphic form.
