Commentary


Si l’attribution de la série à l’idole de face et celle des Dioscures a été controversée, les deux opinions (Bellinger l’attribuant à Orthosia, Seyrig à Akko - Ptolemais) convergeaient pour lier ces deux séries. Les deux séries partagent trop de caractéristiques pour ne pas provenir de la même ville. Dans la base TSP maintenue par Michel Prieur, soixante seize exemplaires sont maintenant répertoriés.

Historical background


CARACALLA

(05/27/196-04/8/217)

Augustus

After Geta's assassination, Caracalla decreed the "damnatio memoriæ" of his brother. The "Constitution Antoniniana" was promulgated in 212. All the inhabitants of the Empire became Roman citizens. The following year he undertook a campaign in Germania and won numerous victories over the Germans, Iapyges and Goths. He received the title of "Germanicus". The end of the reign was marked in 215 by the Monetary Reform and the creation of the Antoninianus. Caracalla begins a final campaign against the Parthians. He is assassinated after having celebrated his vicennalia.
