Unpublished legends combination.
In the year this coin was issued, Severus fell ill in Britain during the campaign against the Caledonians; his days were numbered. Caracalla continued the campaign, but his thoughts were on the future.
Thanks to Curtis Clay for the following info:
Ganshow knew just two specimens of your drachm with crescent in r. field, the more similar being his 512a = Henseler 856, apparently from the same obv. die as yours, but with two added letters in the rev. legend: KAICAPI for KAICAP and NEΩK for NEΩ.
Also very similar to yours: Ganschow 511b = Henseler 855, again apparently same obv. die, rev. like yours but without crescent r. or l.

This reverse type commemorates the events during the civil war of 69 A.D. Upon the arrival of the flavian troops in Italy, Sabinus (the elder brother of Vespasian) was forced to seek refuge in the Capitoline fortress (the sanctuary of Jupiter). He also brought in Domitian, his nephew. Eventually the fortress was set on fire and Sabinus captured and executed. Domitian managed to escape and found shelter at one of his father's clients. Later in that place he built a temple for Jupiter Conservator (= the Protector).
