This is a chance to own a very nice coin of Caracalla minted between 207 and 208 AD. The coin was minted during the reign of Septimius Severus, his father, just three years before Caracalla became emperor. This bronze coin was minted in Dium which is part of the Decapolis. It features a portrait of Caracalla with legend on the obverse and a hexastyle temple with legend on the reverse. This coin is guaranteed to be authentic. Grading is subjective. In my opinion, this coin is CH VF and possibly XF. Caracalla was the son of Septimius Severus. He and his brother Geta were co rulers of the Roman Empire until Caracalla had his brother murdered. He is known to many people in recent times since he was featured as a character in the movie Gladiator II. He was known as a very cruel ruler. His cruelty included the execution of many Christians while he was in power as he did not change the law his father put into place that made it illegal to convert to Christianity or Judaism.Volume: V.3 №: — (unassigned; ID 68427)Reign: Septimius Severus Persons: Caracalla (Augustus)City: DiumRegion: Syria Province: ArabiaDenomination: Æ (25 mm) Average weight: 14.47 g.
