| Obverse description | Laureate and draped bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right, rendered with characteristic youthful features and short-cropped hair beneath a wreath of laurel. The cuirass and paludamentum are visible at the truncation, indicative of the imperial military iconography of the Severan period. The Greek legend encircles the bust, reading AVT M AVPH ANTΩNEINOC, identifying the emperor by his official titulature. The portrait is executed in the provincial style typical of Thracian civic bronzes of the early 3rd century AD. |
