Commentary


Même coin de droit que les exemplaires de la collection Levante n° 1057-1059, pl. 67 (autres revers). Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire de la collection Aulock, n° 6017, pl. 205 (autre revers). Caracalla pourrait être représenté comme démiurge au droit, charge la plus importante de la cité. Le revers semble rare et non recensé.

Historical background


CARACALLA

(05/27/196-04/8/217)

Augustus

After Geta's assassination, Caracalla decreed the "damnatio memoriæ" of his brother. The "Constitution Antoniniana" was promulgated in 212. All the inhabitants of the Empire became Roman citizens. The following year he undertook a campaign in Germania and won numerous victories over the Germans, Iapyges and Goths. He received the title of "Germanicus". The end of the reign was marked in 215 by the Monetary Reform and the creation of the Antoninianus. Caracalla begins a final campaign against the Parthians. He is assassinated after having celebrated his vicennalia.
