CARACALLA  AR Denarius  Rome mint      AD 198–202.  3.67 g, 17 mm Obv: M AVR ANTONINVS AVG, laureate head right. Rev: PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS, Caracalla standing with spear and standard; attendant soldier. RIC IV 12/13 var. This attractive silver denarius of Caracalla was struck at Rome between AD 198 and 202, during his early years as heir to the Severan dynasty. The obverse shows a youthful, tightly curled portrait with the legend M AVR ANTONINVS AVG , a classic early‑reign style before his later, harsher bust types. The reverse features the celebrated PRINCIPI IVVENTVTIS design, depicting Caracalla as leader of Rome’s youth, accompanied by a soldier holding a spear or standard—an image reinforcing dynastic legitimacy and military promise. Weighing 3.67 g and measuring 17 mm, this example offers strong detail for the type with clear legends and well‑defined figures. A desirable, historically rich denarius that remains popular with collectors seeking early Severan portraiture and meaningful political iconography.
