Caracalla, 28 January 198 - 8 April 217 A.D., Serdica, Thrace
|Serdica|, |Caracalla,| |28| |January| |198| |-| |8| |April| |217| |A.D.,| |Serdica,| |Thrace|, This obverse die was normally paired with a very similar type with Mars in nearly an identical pose. References list this Athena reverse only with obverse dies with CEVH in the legend and none with this laureate and cuirassed only bust. We have seen other examples of this die pair online described as the Mars type, but this appears to be Athena. The drapery and pose are feminine. Mars stands more aggressively with his feet further apart. Athena's drapery does not, however, match the other coins from her issue. This coin was likely struck during the Mars type issue and the reverse may be an engraver's erroneous rendering of Mars.
