<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2318349, member: 19463&quot;]I would have IDed this as a Caracalla with portrait too young for Elagabalus in his year 3 but dated to year three of Septimius Severus but research suggest you are right since year 4 of the type also looks young but not quite this young.&nbsp; For me to be right I would need to know more certainly on what date Caesarea advanced the ET number and what date Caracalla was proclaimed Caesar.&nbsp; I believe he was made Caesar in December 195 and Year 4 would have begun in January 196 if Caesarea followed Septimius&#039; plan of dating his reign from the accession of Pertinax on January 1. </p><p><a href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1305986" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1305986" rel="nofollow">http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1305986</a></p><p>Above is a year 2 Elagabalus.&nbsp; Is that portrait younger than your year 3?&nbsp; I would appreciate the opinion of those lurking who specialize in these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
