Archaeology — Roman; 193-225
Mould, coin mould
A baked clay coin mould of a denarius, possibly of Emperor Caracalla or Geta. Caracalla was appointed co-emperor by his father, Septimius Severus, in AD 198. After his father’s death in AD 211, Caracalla shared power with his younger brother, Geta. However, this arrangement was short-lived and after just 10 months Geta was assassinated, possibly at the hands of Caracalla himself. Caracalla saw out the rest of his reign as sole emperor of the Roman Empire, AD 211-217.
Obv: Draped and laureate bust. Obv inscription: ANTONINVS PIVS AVG. Rev: A female figure, holding a cornucopia. Rev inscription: PM TRP (IIII)? COS III PP
