Caracalla, with Septimius Severus and Julia Domna. AD 198-217. AV Aureus (19.5mm, 7.32 g, 12h). Dynastic issue. Rome mint. Struck AD 201. ANTONINVS PIVS AVG PON TR P IIII, laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Caracalla right / CONCORDIAE A ETERNAE, jugate busts right of Septimius Severus, radiate and draped, and Julia Domna, draped, wearing stephane, set on crescent. RIC I 52; Calicó 2849 (same obv. die as illustration); BMCRE 260; Adda 430 (same obv. die); Biaggi 1163 (same obv. die); Mazzini 1; Triton XXV, lot 950 (same dies). Toned, minor deposits. EF. Three superb portaits on this impressive dynastic issue.

Without an heir to take up the throne, the possibility of a civil war erupting after the death of an emperor was an enormous threat to public safety. This issue celebrates the harmony – even the eternity – of the dynasty, depicting both father and son. In furtherance of this theme, Julia Domna was associated with Luna Lucifera, "the light-bearing Moon," while Septimius Severus associated himself with Sol, god of the Sun, a natural and immortal pair.
