There have been a few threads on this reverse type over the years. The following is worthy of a read if you have not already stumbled across it.

BTW you have a minor type in your post. It should read "IN CARTH".

thank you for the answer
I have seen that post that looks like molt interesting

I have another of these coi but this time of his son Caracalla

I have always thought that more than the attribution to the commemoration of an aqueduct, that stone from which water flows was in gratitude for the construction of one or several fountains in the center of the city of Cartago to supply the population with drinking water, It is only a personal opinion, I have no evidence of any kind to confirm this information
P.S. excuse my English, it's not very good and I use a translator

I have owned a few of these denarii over the years. My nicest was probably this one.

Hi folks,

Here is my (not so nice) example (last coin):

I always wondered about the meaning of the reverse.

Which is the history background linked to this reverse?

[Lerian]

And to show two variations,

Dea holding drum and sceptre and a type (engravers variation) of Dea holding only a thunderbolt.
