<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 8000214, member: 115909&quot;]Sorry for so many posts recently. I got alot of things I wanted to share. ^_^</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the 3rd denarius that I won at last night’s auction. I didn’t want to post all of them in one post since it makes thing complicated as I don’t know which coin people are referring to when they post replies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway without any further ado:</p><p><br /></p><p>Caracalla! He looks young on this coin. At first when I saw it I thought it was his brother Geta. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1387942[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1387941[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Caracalla (AD 198-217). AR denarius (19mm, 3.28 gm, 5h). NGC Choice AU 5/5 - 4/5.</b> Rome, AD 201-206. ANTONINVS-PIVS AVG, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust of Caracalla right, seen from behind / CONCORDIA-FELIX, Plautilla, on left, standing right, clasping right hands with Caracalla, on right, standing left, with scroll in left hand. RIC IV.I 124b.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this coin is celebrating his marriage to Plautilla since Concordia (on the reverse) was the Goddess of marriage.</p><p><br /></p><p>I feel like this coin is saying to the Roman people “we have a happy marriage”.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I really like about this denarius is that it’s very well centered and has the full beads surrounding the portrait</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Feel free to share your Caracalla coinage (of any type) here! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
