Commentary
Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges invisibles. Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire de la collection von Aulock n° 1472, pl. 46 (R/ L’empereur passant à gauche). Ce type avec l’arbre et le berger semble beaucoup plus rare et se rencontre pour Commode, (BMC. pl. V/7).
Type 3 ribbons. Invisible pteryges. Same obverse die as the copy in the von Aulock collection no. 1472, pl. 46 (R/ The emperor passing to the left). This type with the tree and the shepherd seems much rarer and is found for Commodus, (BMC. pl. V/7)

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.
