VERY nice coin.  Caracalla, common elsewhere, is not so common at Deultum, being the first emperor to have coins issued for him there.
SNG Bulg. 1, Ruse 1, nos. 10-12 (3 specimens), pl I.  No citation of previous listings, so not in Jurukova.
Apollo with bow not per se uncommon, but this view with quiver at r., at his feet; on the best of the three specimens, 10, you can see that he does indeed hold the quiver strap in his l. hand.

I love this attitude of Apollo where he is dragging the quiver nonchalantly behind. It is one of my favourite Apollos. Here is a similar coin from Hadrianopolis, Jurukova 295. Maybe it is the depiction of a statue?

Best regards

I don't think he's dragging it, rather standing there with it failing to stand up, and leaning away from him. If he was dragging it the base would be away from him. But you're right, it's a lovely reverse.
