Commentary


Rubans de type 2. L’identification de l’atelier est certaine grâce aux émissions de présentation qui montrent la Tyché de la ville assise sur un mont, un dieu-fleuve tenant le phare de la ville et nageant à ses pieds. On note que les sigma sont gravés en C. Dans la base TSP maintenue par Michel Prieur, trois cent soixante-dix sept exemplaires sont maintenant répertoriés.
Type 2 ribbons. The identification of the workshop is certain thanks to the presentation issues which show the city's Tyche seated on a mountain, a river god holding the city's lighthouse and swimming at her feet. We note that the sigma are engraved in C. In the TSP database maintained by Michel Prieur, three hundred and seventy-seven examples are now listed

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.
