I discovered in my thesis that that battle took place on 19 Feb. 196 (IMP VIII) not 197 (IMP VIIII) as all of the books say. Caracalla was made Caesar between 27 Nov. and 26 Dec. 195. Septimius did not visit Rome on his way back from the East to confront Albinus: his ADVENTVI AVG FELICISSIMO type instead commemorates his well attested return to Rome <i>after</i> his defeat of Albinus, which as stated occurred on 19 Feb. 196 not 197. See my Forum thread for a summary of the evidence and my arguments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
