Looks like the damnatio didn't catch that one

 

After 6 Daughters, and now 8 Grandkids, kids stuff sometimes wear off on me.
I am glad she enjoyed the Legos Pippa!

In a parallel universe, the two boys never quarrelled, shared all their toys, always look out for each other, and made their parents proud. Sorry about what happened in this universe, Julia.

This thread has covered themiddle period rather well so I'll add the ends.
Caracalla and Geta as young Caesars:


Posthumous Caracalla sestertius with four tier pyre:


There are no Divus Geta coins but the Stratonicaea bronzes were commonly scraped to remove him in compliance with Caracalla's order. The reverse is Hecate.
