<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 2734086, member: 14873&quot;]Excellent Post all-around Jwt708!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am writing an article relating to the two Roman Emperors who died at York (Septimius Severus and Constantius). Here is the preamble to Septimius Severus:</p><p><br /></p><p>Accompanied by his two sons, <i>Caracalla</i> and <i>Geta</i>, <i>Septimius Severus</i> traveled from Rome to Britain in AD 208 in order to subjugate the northern Barabaric Britannic tribes and restore Hadrian&#039;s wall. He established his headquarters in northern Britain at Eboracum (York). He became seriouly ill during the campaign and died at Eboracum in AD 211.</p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla and Geta fought along side him as Caesars and were invested as co-Augusti in AD 211. Caracalla murdered his brother later in AD 212 to become the sole Augustus. </p><p><br /></p><p>Do you (or anyone else here) know if Caracalla transported his Father&#039;s ashes back to Rome, and where did Caracalla murder his brother?</p><p><br /></p><p>My Caracalla &quot;Victory over Britannia&quot; coin:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://jp29.org/000severan02.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><b>RIC Vol. IV, CARACALLA, Denarius, No. 231a</b> (AD 210-211)</p><p>Obverse: Caracalla, Laureate head facing right</p><p>Inscription clockwise from bottom: <b>ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT</b></p><p>Reverse: winged Victory advancing right holding trophy</p><p>Inscription: <b>VICTORIAE BRIT</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
