Well done Ro! cool lion, very nice coin. Do not like that Emperor.

 

I've been avoiding giving you likes after you started begging for them, but that OP coin definitely deserves one. That lion reverse is amazing. Great buy.

The Caracalla/radiate lion design also comes on an antoninianus:


22 mm. Stuck 215 AD.
ANTONINVS PIVS AVG GERM, radiate bust right
PM TRP XVIII COS IIII PP
radiate lion walking left with thunderbolt in his mouth.
RIC 273d. BMC 150.
This is the first year of issue for this new antoninianus denomination.
Hill 1497 says "R3" (very rare in hoards)
"The radiate lion symbolizes the Emesan solar deity and religion to which the imperial family had ties through Julia Domna. It would attain much greater significance in Roman society under the rule of Elagabalus." [quoted from CNG 40]
