Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 10/06/2013 3:25 pm Definitely not Licinius. I would guess Elagabalus or Caracalla. Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3446 Posts	Posted 10/06/2013 7:54 pm Definitely Caracalla ! The growling sneering face of Caracalla is unlike anyone else really. Caracalla, AE27, Nicaea, Bithynia. ANTWNINOC-AUGOUCTOC, laureate, bearded head right / NIKAI-EWN to left and right of legionary eagle between two standards. Caracalla was a genuine 'soldier emperor' who felt comfortable hanging around with the common soldiers instead of peeling grapes in the palace. Despite being a particularly cruel and vicious tyrant he issued an edict which changed 'The World'. Caracalla decreed that all free born persons living within the Empire would hereafter enjoy the rights privileges and title of "Citizen of Rome". Probably because so many enlisted soldiers were denied this right that he was so keenly aware of it. It could not have been popular with the 'old guard' in the Senate. Report this Post to the Staff
