For Sallent, Caracalla

One of my favorite Caracallas. Still looking for the matching Plautilla.

No idea why that one is uploading sideways.

 

WOW !! Impressive posts!! I wonder if Caracalla ever imagined how 'popular' he would become LOL

The 'unhappy couple':

 

Most likely barbarous, this is much like we might expect an early Syrian mint denarius to look, if such existed. I like to fantasize it could have been made by an Emesa worker after the mint was closed . Fantasy is a wonderful thing.

Early Rome sestertius as Caesar


Stratonicea AE 38 with his wife Plautilla (he had her killed)


Marcianopolis 5 assaria with brother Geta (he had him killed)


Marcianopolis 5 assaria with Julia Domna (he is not credited with killing her) E retrograde variation


Posthumous sesterius


One of the above (Geta) is relatively common. I am surprised they are not more popular considering...
