History: Shortly before Septimius' death at Eboracum (York) on 4 February 211,
an issue of coins was minted for Septimius, Caracalla and Geta celebrating the
Roman successes over the native Picts and Scots in northern Britain. After
Septimius died, his sons broke off further operations in the province and,
leaving the task unfinished, returned to Rome.
