BMCRE 48–9, Hill 1357 (C2), RIC 206a, RSC 220. Obv: ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT; head laureate right. Rx: P M TR P XVI COS IIII P P; Hercules, naked, standing half-left, holding branch and club with lion’s skin. Perhaps the bearded figure on the reverse is intended to represent Caracalla as Hercules; its head bears a strong resemblance to Caracalla’s “angry scowl” portrait as shown on the obverse.VF</p><p><br /></p><p>–––––––––––––––––</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]730309[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Caracalla.</b> AR denarius, Rome mint, struck 212 CE; 19mm, 3.38g.
