[QUOTE="curtislclay, post: 6455584, member: 89514"]Doug, Yes, there is considerable variation in the portraits of Caracalla as Caesar, making it difficult to divide them into a sequence of portrait types, or to separate out what may be the work of different engravers. Questions I tend to avoid in my research, because they are usually so dependent on speculation and lead to answers that cannot be either confirmed or refuted. Blake, Your SECVRITAS PERPETVA sestertius is interesting, because in my thesis I only knew that obv. die in muled combinations with three PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS rev. dies, for example BM 608, pl. 26.4. Where did you see a TR P XX Serapis seated sestertius of Caracalla? That type seems to be new to me on a sestertius, and no such coin is listed in the unpublished Handbook of Caracalla's coins drawn up by the Hungarian collector C. Spiller in 2017.[/QUOTE]
