    Interesting ruler. I always like Mars reverses. It's a good example, with a portrait of Caracalla at approximately 18 years old.

    I have a denarius portraying Caracalla when he was a boyish preteen, and another denarius portraying him as mean and manly in his 20's. Quite a difference!

    Nice acquisition, lovely portrait. I have two Caracalla coins but sadly without Mars.

    I have a small collection of Caracalla's but haven't had time to photograph them yet. These are auction photos of some of them:
