Commentary
Une contremarque au droit devant le visage de Caracalla sous la forme d’une statuette de déesse archaïque dans un ovale Artemis Anaïtis, Howgego, CMK 233, pl. 10. Trace de tréflage dans la légende au revers. Semble complètement inédit et non recensé. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés.
A countermark to the obverse in front of the face of Caracalla in the form of an archaic goddess statuette in an oval Artemis Anaïtis, Howgego, CMK 233, pl. 10. Trace of trefoiling in the legend on the reverse. Seems completely new and unrecorded. Missing from all works consulted

Historical background
CARACALLA
(05/27/196-04/8/217)
Augustus with Septimius Severus
Caracalla was named Augustus in April 198 before the great Parthian victory. In 202, he married the daughter of the prefect of Praetorian Plautian, Plautille, who would be relegated three years later. In 204, the celebration of the Secular Games begins. Septimius Severus tries to impose the image of the new dynasty. Caracalla celebrates his decennalia in 207 and accompanies his father to Africa. He then joined his father in Brittany at the end of the year 208 when the Roman armies experienced their first successes there..
