Tetradrachm - Caracalla ΔΗΜΑΡΧ ΕΞ ΥΠΑΤΟϹ ΤΟ Γ

Tyre retained the right to strike silver tetradrachms under Roman administration — a privilege jealously guarded and periodically contested — and continued producing them through Caracalla's reign using the distinctive Syrian standard rather than the imperial denarius weight. The tribunician power notation placing this issue in the 209–211 window coincides with Caracalla's joint rule alongside Geta, a co-emperorship that ended with Geta's murder in December 211 and the subsequent damnatio memoriae that erased his name from monuments across the empire.
