<p>[QUOTE="curtislclay, post: 4612933, member: 89514"]Pellinor's Domna sestertius with Caracalla rev. is interesting, but probably unofficial, because the style is a little crude as dougsmit said, and because on my chronology Julia's DOMNA legend ended in mid-194, about when Septimius became IMP IIII for his final defeat of Niger, whereas Caracalla Caesar's Minerva standing type was not introduced until towards the end of 196, more than two years later. Official mules, as one would expect, were almost always struck from two dies that the mint was using at one and the same time. By late 196, it was highly unlikely that any of Julia's DOMNA obv. dies from mid-194 and earlier would still have been available at the mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
