Roman provincial coin, 22mm. Caracalla?
« on: March 07, 2009, 01:08:01 pm »
Hi all.

I think this is Caracalla. Do you know when and where it was minted? It might be silver, but I'm not sure (it weighs roughly 5 grams and is 22m). Thanks for you help in advance.

Caracalla from Stobi, Macedonia.  It's bronze.  I'm sure you can find comparable examples at Wildwinds.

I cannot identify that reverse die, it may be unlisted.  The obverse is V46 so the legend is PIVS AVGV ANTONINVS  as in Josifovski 327.  Yours is only the third die pair that I have recorded for this obverse.  Thanks for posting!
