Well unless there are some last minute entries I think we can move on to Caracalla and Geta. Should see some nice coins for these two. Post will go until 10 PM forum time on Wednesday.

Caracalla (as Caesar)
AR Denarius, AD 196-198, Rome, 17.4mm, 2.34g, 0°, RIC IVi 11.
Obv: M AVR ANTON CAES PONTIF. Bare head, draped bust right.
Rev: MARTI VLTORI. Mars advancing right with spear and trophy.


Caracalla
AR Denarius, A.D. 201-206, Rome, 18.6mm, 3.05g, 0°, RIC IVi 127.
Obv: ANTONINVS PIVS AVG. Laureate, draped bust right.

Caracalla Denarius
Obv:â€" M AVR ANTONINVS CAES, draped and cuirassed bust right
Rev:â€" SEVERI AVG PII FIL, sacrificial implements
Minted in Rome. A.D. 196
Reference:â€" BMCRE 186 has matching bust type though not illustrated. RIC 4 (though bust from front rather than the more usual rear). RSC 587



Caracalla Denarius
Obv:â€"ANTONINVS AVGVSTVS, Laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right, seen from behind
Rev:â€" PART MAX PONT TR P IIII / COS, Trophy of arms with captives either side
Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare. A.D. 201.
Referenceâ€" BMCRE 730. RIC 346 (Rated Scarce citing Cohen 177). RSC 177. RD (2 examples)

The fact that there were only 2 examples in the RD hoard would seem to confirm the scarcity of this type



Caracalla Denarius
Obv:â€" IMP C M AVR ANTONI-NVS PONT AVG, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right
Rev:â€" SECVRITAS PVBLICA, Securitas, draped, seated left on throne, holding globe on extended right hand, left hand resting on side of throne, fold of drapery falling over side to right
Minted in Laodicea-ad-Mare. A.D. 198
Reference:â€" BMCRE 647-649 though with different obverse legend break. RIC 332 (S). RSC 568



Caracalla Ae As
Obv:- ANTONINVS PIVS AVG GERM, Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right
Rev:- P M TR P XVII IMP III COS IIII P P - S C, Mars, helmeted in military dress, cloak over left arm, standing front, head left, right knee slightly bent, holding branch raised in right hand and vertical spear in left hand. Items on ground. I cannot really make them out but at magnification they look like helmet on left, cuirass between legs and spear resting on shield.

This seems to generally match RIC 532b, which cites Cohen 260. RIC 532a is the same reverse type with a Laureate head right. BMCRE does not include this type with this bust but does include the type in the notes to BMCRE 268. BMCRE 268, which is the Laureate head type is described as right foot on helmet with cuirass? to right.



Caracalla denarius - RIC 211a
Obv:â€" ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT, Laureate bust right
Rev:â€" P M TR P XV COS III P P (XV over XIIII), Elephant walking right
References:â€" VM 60/4, RIC 211a (Scarce), RSC 230
