Caracalla Denarius

I believe that I have several Caracallas. My favourite is the 'ugliest' one.

@Topcat7 Lol, your coins of him show him as a helpless young pup! Like Doug said, it's fun to see him evolve into a killer from a kid!

 

i have several coins of caracalla, all provincials. here's mylast one, and my ugliest (i do have a close second place coin in the ugly caracalla catagory however). this is a pretty rare coin however.

Sorry 'Pish'. my computer went 'whacky' on me as I tried to post...

I was wondering about the dulble obverse on the link and wanting to see the Nike reverse

 

Oops sorry about that Micky, I think I have corrected it.
