Show your Caracalla

LOL I wasn't the moment I posted (or before). I just 'joined' minutes afterwards with a monthly payment LOL

I'm not a supporter and I have access to the "upload a file" tool

Q

 

@PMONNEY @TIF and anyone wanting to post a pic.

The "upload file" is standard with the program. To post a photo via PM you have to have a URL or follow the instructions as TIF laid out.
If your a new member you have to confirm your email address before the "upload file" will work.

 

This is my only bronze of Caracalla.

Caracalla (198-217), Sestertius, Rome, AD 210-213,
Obv: M - AVR ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT (?), laureate head r.,
Rev: PROVIDENTIAE - DEORVM, Providentia standing l., holding sceptre and wand over globe; in field, S - C.
RIC 511?

 

I keep telling myself I'm going to become a supporter, but I hate doing "monthly" any kind of payments & would rather do a year type.
But that coin I just have to have keeps popping up. I'll do it eventually.

 

I always Drag-and-Drop my pics, unless the description is longer than 100 spaces, then I upload. So much faster!

 

We like silver & gold to!!!

 

You can do a yearly payment. I did. And it's not an automatic renewal.

 

I did discover recently that my non-auto yearly payment ran out with no notice other than the supporter flag disappeared. At that time, I lost the ability to upload images onto private conversations. When I paid, that ability returned.

Here it is ,finally !

 

I'd love to see the reverse

The obverse is wonderful. Do you have any larger images?

 

Hey great Caracalla and Geta coins everyone, and welcome PMONNEY, I have not got a big collection of these two guys, but my favorite is this one with Caracalla's family standing on a triumphal arch, obverse with Julia Domna, Marcianopolis, 197-217 AD, 11.4gm, Varb 1040.

 

I really like this example of the young Caracalla - I have the same type but it was clearly made by another celator, using a portrait design that I have seen in the same obverse die in at least five other examples over the years. The one I have is the second sestertii I purchased (I still have my first, a very nice sestertii of Julia Mammaea). Hopefully soon I will be set up to be able to post photos of coins with something other than my phone camera, so I can show these.
