<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4858354, member: 19463&quot;]I find interest in this Marcianopolis showing both portraits wearing the laurel wreath but Caracalla strikes me as young.&nbsp; The legend lists both as &quot;AVK&quot; so it must date to the first period after Geta was elevated.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1173079[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course my favorite is the Domna tet of Alexandria dated LK (beginning September 211 so after the death of Septimius). The reverse shows the boys as Augusti but one (Caracalla) has his other hand on his sword.&nbsp; Both are veiled (in mourning for their father who died 6 months earlier.&nbsp; This obverse die is known also with a reverse of different type dated year 18.&nbsp; Few coins were made during this period so obverse dies lasted a while.&nbsp; I continue to believe this is the only type showing the pair together after the death of their father.&nbsp; Please prove me wrong on this by posting other coins. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1173080[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
