<p>[QUOTE="benhur767, post: 3207368, member: 36818"]Maybe <i>I'm</i> wrong. Looking in RSC it does describe this type as Caracalla and Plautilla. A similar CONCORDIA type of Geta says "Geta and Concordia" (but Concordia is veiled) or "Geta and Caracalla." In parenthesis it says that Cohen thought it was Caracalla and Plautilla on the coin of Geta, which doesn't make a lot of sense to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>So it seems there's some confusion about who is who. I do think that the left-hand figure on your coin looks more like Geta than Plautilla, but now I'm not so sure. On the OP's coin you can see the obvious female hairstyle. But the toga on the left-hand figure on your coin is draped in a similar manner as on female figures. If the figure on your coin had an obvious female hairstyle it would be easier to say for certain that it's Plautilla. But I guess since the references say "Caracalla and Plautilla," they're probably correct.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
