Caracalla Æ26 of Isaura, Cilicia. Circa AD 198-217. Laureate and cuirassed bust right, drapery on shoulder, aegis on cuirass / Tetrastyle temple with arched pediment, bust of Hercules on column within. SNG Levante 263. 8.41g, 26mm, 6h.

Extremely Fine, beautiful emerald green patina. Rare.

Levante describes the reverse bust as Septimius Severus, but the prominence of Hercules in the city's pantheon makes him the more likely object of a cult temple.
