Historical background
SEPTIMIUS SEVERUS AND CACARALLA
Septimius Severus has two sons from his second marriage to Julia Domna: Caracalla, born in 188, and Géta, born in 189. The first becomes Caesar in 196 and Augustus in 198; the second was raised to the Caesarean in 198. From 201, we observe an important coinage of dynastic issues which will culminate with the return of the Emperor to Rome in 202. This return coincides with his decennalia and the marriage of Caracalla with Plautille . The highlight of this program will be the celebration of the Secular Games in 204. Coins with multiple portraits are extremely rare.
