<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3622988, member: 97383&quot;]I won this handsome Tet from Roma Numismatics E-sale 59, see photos below (last two courtesy of Roma Numismatics). The coin was struck in Antioch, Syria circa AD 205-207, &amp; pictures Caracalla on the obverse at the age of 18 or 19, &amp; on the reverse a bold eagle with a laurel wreath in his beak &amp; animal leg in his talons. The coin is from the late Michel Prieur collection #202, 14.32 gm, 27 mm, 11h. The metal in this Tet is of a higher fineness than the war issues of AD 215-217. Caracalla lives in infamy for having his brother Geta murdered along with thousands of Geta&#039;s adherents so he could be sole ruler of Rome.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]971392[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]971393[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]971397[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]971398[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
