[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 4349182, member: 110226"]Caracalla was a man of many portrayals, especially when it comes to his provincial coinage. Here is an example from Emesa, Seleucis and Pieria, purchased post-auction earlier this year. On this particular example he facing right, brow heavily furrowed, a frowning, pursed mouth, and a large, deeply set eye staring with fierce determination - perhaps not the first person you'd consider taking out for lunch. I certainly wouldn't rely on any service tip from him! Caracalla AR Tetradrachm of Emesa, Seleucis and Pieria. AD 215-217. •AΥT K M A• AN•••TWNЄINOC C Є•B•, laureate head right / ΔΗΜΑΡX ΕΞ VΠΑΤOC TO Δ, eagle standing facing, head left, with wreath in beak; A under beak; radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Shamash left between legs. Prieur 956. 12.76g, 27mm, 2h. Extremely Fine. Very Rare. [ATTACH=full]1100953[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
