IONIA, Clazomenae. Caracalla & Geta. AD 209-211. Æ (35mm, 24.65 g, 6h). Philon Dam-, magistrate. Confronted busts of Caracalla right and Geta left, each laureate, draped, and cuirassed / Poseidon seated left on rocky outcropping, right foot on prow, holding dolphin and trident. Cf. BMC 131 (for obv. type and magistrate name; same obv. die); otherwise, unpublished. VF, slightly rough brown surfaces, small metal flaw running from before Poseidon’s right knee to his extended right arm. Apparently unique reverse for these emperors and this magistrate.
