<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joseph Sarkissian, post: 3347339, member: 78162&quot;]I have been trying to find this radiate version of Caracalla on this particular coiled serpent provincial of Pautalias, but so far haven&#039;t been able to attribute it to any coin online. This also brings up one question which I would appreciate if someone clarified: the radiate bust!! I read that sometime mid-first century AD the radiate crown was used to distinguish between a Dupontium and the As. Also, that Augusti were the only ones brandishing the radiate crown on their coins. At what point did Caracalla (or others for that matter) switch a laureate head with a radiate one?</p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla Dupontius&nbsp; 15.28g AE30 211-217AD (assuming) radiate, draped, cuirassed bust right AVT M AVRH ANTΩNINOC&nbsp; / Coiled serpent with head right OYΛΠIAC ΠAYTAΛIAC</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]886385[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
