It's all about that Bass-ianus (no Geta)

Nice coins everyone. Here are a couple of mine.

This sweet little boy turned into the snarling brute we all know so well.

Caracalla Denarius
Obv:– IMP C M AVR ANTONI-NVS PONT AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right
Rev:– SECVRITAS PVBLICA, Securitas, draped, seated left on throne, holding globe on extended right hand, left hand resting on side of throne, fold of drapery falling over side to right
Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare. A.D. 198
Reference:– BMCRE 647-649 though with different obverse legend break. RIC 332 (S). RSC 568.

Some die clogging in the legends but a well detailed example

 

That's a very sweet bobble-head example, Martin ... he certainly doesn't look too menacing in that portrait, eh?

Awesome coin examples, gang (there are some total winners in this thread)

 

I totally agree Steve---- absolutely incredible posts, especially the last two just above. My unphotographed denarii show him as a 'youth'---rather innocent looking without his typical scowl...
