Rx: PONTI - FE - X - TR P II Caracalla standing l. in military dress holding Victory on globe and spear, at his feet seated Parthian captive supporting head with hand, wearing peaked cap and with quiver. Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection. A very rare mint mule: with TR P II on reverse, the obverse legend should have been IMP CAES M AVG ANTON AVG, without TR P. The BM has such a coin, the first published, but with bust laureate and draped on obverse, whereas ours has bust laureate, draped, and cuirassed. Another specimen like ours, from the same die pair, was sold by Ancient Auction House on eBay in September 2004. . Good VF (225)
