Commentary


Rubans de type 2. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Un exemplaire de ce type est recensé dans l’ouvrage de Ganschow consacré à la collection Henseler et au total treize exemplaires pour neuf variantes.
Type 2 ribbons. This type appears to be much rarer than general works suggest. One example of this type is listed in Ganschow's work on the Henseler collection and a total of thirteen examples for nine variants.

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..
