Caracalla. AD 198-217. AR Denarius (18mm, 2.74 g, 7h). Contemporary Imitation. ANTONINVS PIVS AVG, laureate head right / COS III, triumphal arch. Cf. RIC 259 (for Septimius). Fine, porous.

A contemporary imitation combining the obverse of Caracalla and a reverse of Septimius Severus. The style of both sides, particularly the legends, identifies this as an imitation and not a mule using official dies.
