Watch List notes:

THRACE, Perinthus. Caracalla, 198-217. Pentassarion (Bronze, 34mm, 28.50 g 1), 214. AVT K M AVP CEOΥHΡ ANTΩNINOC AVT Radiate head of Caracalla to right. Rev. ΠEΡINΘIΩN / NEΩKOΡΩ/N galley under sail to right. Schönert 576. Varbanov 257. Rare. Green glance patina. Very fine.


This coin is very likely connected to the Caracalla's slow travel to the east in 214-215 during which he spent some time in Thrace visiting several cities. From Perinthos, the emperor and his entourage ferried over to Asia to visit Ilion and Pergamon.
