    << <i>Caracalla? >>


    Indeed it is. Reverse LIBERALITAS AVG VI, Generosity standing holding a cornucopia and an abacus. Struck in 209 AD. Sear 6815, RIC 158. See here on Wildwinds.

    It was likely produced as a giveaway piece at a "congiarum", a public display of generosity by the emperor where he gave away money to anyone that turned up.
    Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.
    Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"

    Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD. B)
