                                Description

     This piece was minted in the name of Caracalla, who served as
     Caesar under his father, Septimius Severus, from 196 to 198 AD.
     He later ruled as Augustus from 198-217 AD. His reign was marked
     by extravagance and cruelty, and he achieved more in war by
     treachery than by force of arms. The one notable act of his reign
     was the granting of the name and privileges of Roman citizens to
     all free inhabitants of the empire. He was murdered in 217, while
     traveling from Carrhae. The obverse type depicts the draped bust
     of Caracalla as a young boy facing right, with legends
     M.AVREL.ANTON.CAES.PONTIF. The reverse type features Felicitas
     standing left, holding caduceus downwards, child at breast on
     arm. The legends for the type read IMPERII.FELICITAS. Coin is
     struck on a typically smallish Severan flan, but otherwise grades
     F+, with clear devices, legends clearly visible where struck up,
     and a nice portrait of the young Caracalla. A nice example of the
     type, catalouged as RSC-95. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin
     shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add
     appropriate sales tax. Visa/MC accepted for orders of $20 or
     more. For more ancients, please visit our WWW page at
