A completely new type for Caracalla

Caracalla, AD 198-217
AE 16, 2.23g, 15.62mm, 0°
obv. [AV K M A] - ANTWN[I?]
       Bust, draped and cuirassed, laureate, r.
rev. NIKOPOLI[T] - PROC ICT.
       Altar with basket (cista mystica?) from which a snake is coiling up
ref. a) not in AMNG
      b) not in Varbanov
      c) not in Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2018):
          rev. cf. No. 8.14.47.31 corr. (for Severus, same die)
          obv. e.g. No. 8.18.46.14
coll. Hoeft

This type was described as "altar, on which snake is coiling, head l." This new coin has far the best preserved rev. I have seen. And now my suspicion that the old description is not correct is proven. It can't be a snake alone because there are structures above the altar not compatible with a snake. So I think it is a basket or a similar container set on the altar in which the snake is coiling up.

This type was until now only known for Severus. Another example for a parallel issue for members of the imperial family!

A correction for Commodus

Commodus, AD 177-192
AE 18, 2.44g, 18.05mm, 210°
obv. AV KAI M A - YMODOC
       Laureate head r.
rev. NEIKO - PROC CICT
      Tyche, wearing kalathos, enthroned l., holding cornucopiae in l. arm and in extended r.  
       hand rudder
ref. a) not in AMNG
      b) not in Varbanov
      c) Hristova-Hoeft-Jekov (2018) No. 8.10.38.21 corr. (same die, different obv. legend)
coll. Hoeft

What immediately catches the eye is the clear Y at the beginning of the second part of the legend. This only occurs with the legends for Commodus at A - YR and the A at the end of the first legend part fits well. In the name KOMODOC the KO is missing and the M is only a stunted letter.

Actually, the obv. legend should be completed as AV KAI M A-YR KOMODOC. But the die cutter probably saw that there was not enough space available for KOMODOC. Then he broke off his legend and turned the planned (or already started!) R of A-YR into a mutilated M, so that he could still write MODOC.

Thus it is a legend error and the obv. legend is AV KAI M A - YMODOC.
