ROMAN EMPIRE | THE ASCENSION OF CARACALLA SILVER DENARIUS (c. AD 201–206)

Description

Title: ROMAN EMPIRE | THE ASCENSION OF CARACALLA SILVER DENARIUS (c. AD 201–206)

Description: The Serene Successor struck during his early co-regency with Septimius Severus, this specimen captures Caracalla (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) in a rare moment of serene imperial dignity. Unlike the scowling "soldier-emperor" portraits of his later solo reign, this youthful laureate bust was intended to project the continuity of the Antonine tradition and the divine legitimacy of the Severan house.

Numismatic Detail
Obverse: A sharp, laureate, and youthful bust of Caracalla; Legend: ANTONINVS PIVS AVG.
Reverse: Virtus (the personification of military bravery) standing left, holding a miniature Victory and a reversed spear; Legend: PONTIF TR P VI COS.
