Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Ce type bien particulier a été fabriqué en 201. Si le type semble appartenir à l’atelier de Rome, il ne s’inscrit pas dans le programme des émissions de l’atelier. Il pourrait s’agir d’un hybride ou bien d’un denier de l’atelier de Laodicée. Dans le Roman Silver Coinage, ce denier est présenté comme un faux d’époque peut-être C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente.

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..
