    Thanks, Oki, but Ivo started this thread :D.

    Wonderful Caracalla! And stop it! Stop it right now! Stick to your Hadrians and leave a few interesting provincials for the rest of us :p :D

    211 was the year of death for Septimius. Caracalla, 4 April 188 – 8 April 217, just turned 29 when he was killed.

    Across the years in bronzes:
