    What do you think of this, a Greek coin from the Roman Empire? I can only show the obverse. But I have two different pictures.

    The portrait is definitely Antoninus Pius. I think it is a provincial issue but don't have enough information to make that call.

    It was offered to me as a Caracalla from Serdica.

    This one is bearded. Caracalla is much younger and often confused with Elagabalus. Great difference.

    It is definitely Antoninus Pius. I can see the similarities when compared to my Antoninus Pius denarii

    Caracalla is much more different: See below, he may have a beard, but his facial structures and nose are much different Caracalla Serapis denarius.jpg
