[QUOTE="cmezner, post: 4595429, member: 87809"]Forgot completely that I have this denarius, probably because the head doesn't look like Geta at all (in my eyes...); I think it looks much more like Caracalla. The inscription on the obverse starts with "P SEPT" can someone please clarify what this means - as always, I am just confused :confused: even though, hopefully I have the right RIC number Denarius, Rome, 211 AD 18.5 x 20 mm, 3.035 g RIC IV Geta 79; Ob.: P SEPT GETA PIVS AVG BRIT Laureate bearded head right Rev.: TR P III COS II P P Janus, in himation, nude to waist, standing front, looking left and right, drapery over left arm, holding scepter (or spear) in right hand and thunderbolt in left hand [CENTER][ATTACH=full]1138067[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1138068[/ATTACH][/CENTER][/QUOTE]
