You are right, it is Caracalla. Obv. legend M AVREL ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT (or GERM). Rev. is Securitas seated r.,  propping head on r. hand and holding sceptre; in front altar. Rev. legend SECVRITATI PERPETVAE SC.

With BRIT it could be
RIC IV/1, 512(a), bust laureate, draped, cuirassed, r.
RIC IV/1, 512(b), bust laureate, cuirassed, r.
RIC IV/1, 512(c), bust laureate, r., drapery on l. shoulder
RIC IV/1, 512(d), bust laureate, r.
(all above C.576; scarce; undated AD 210-213)

With GERM it would be
RIC IV/1, 573, bust laureate, draped, cuirassed, r.; C.580; scarce; undated AD 214-217

I think the bust is laureate only, making it RIC 512(d)

Best regards
