The countermark shows the head of Caracalla. It may signify a re-authorization of this coinage after the <i>damnatio</i>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The brown one (near the bottom) is from Pergamum. The countermark has been identified as an &quot;animal&quot; although truthfully it&#039;s hard to tell. This may or may not be related to the <i>damnatio</i>. Other examples of this type have a countermark showing a wreath, which were used before the dates that these were struck, and also afterward on coinage of Elagabalus. The reason for the wreath countermark is uncertain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
