Commentary


Point de centrage au droit sous l’oreille de Caracalla. Même coin de droit que l’exemplaire reproduit dans l’ouvrage de Varbonov II, p. 95, n° 1084. Ce type semble en fait plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.

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.
