Caracalla Mule ; 198-217 AD, Rome, 211 AD, Denarius, 2.54g. Not in the standard references. Obv: ANTONINVS PIVSAVG BRIT Head laureate r. Rx: FELICITAS on l. and r., Felicitas standing l., holding short caduceus and scepter. Ex Curtis L. Clay Collection; ex Lanz, eBay, 25 Nov. 2011. An apparently unpublished mule, combining an obverse die of Caracalla as Britannicus (210-213 AD) with a FELICITAS reverse die of Julia Domna as Julia Pia Felix Aug (211-217 AD). FELICITAS denarii of Julia Domna with her PIA FELIX obverse legend are rare, but do occur, e.g. on BMC Addenda p. 627, 4C. This small issue of Julia Domnas, probably in 211 AD, was presumably the source for the reverse die of our Caracalla mule.. EF / VF
