Obverse: Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Caracalla facing right. The legend typically reads ANTONINVS PIVS AVG GERM, reflecting his titles as Augustus and Conqueror of the Germans.
Reverse: Providentia standing left, holding a wand over a globe at her feet and a cornucopia in her left hand. The legend reads PROVIDENTIAE DEORVM, with the letters SC (Senatus Consulto) in the field.
Designers: Unknown Roman Empire struck round
Final summary: A genuine 2nd-century Roman Dupondius of Caracalla in VG condition. While it lacks high-grade detail, it remains an affordable piece of history.
Fun fact: The radiate crown worn by the emperor on this coin was a visual code for the illiterate public; it signified the coin was a Dupondius, worth exactly two copper Asses, which featured the emperor wearing a laurel wreath instead.
