Good VF, dark green and red-brown patina. Very rare. On this coin the letter “o” in Caracalla’s official name, Antoninus, is a clearly engraved omicron, rather than the omega more regularly encountered. Under a lens, however, the additional line visible suggests that the celator may have attempted to correct his mistake; as it proceeds over the letter and partially into the field, this line, however, may be part of a serendipitous die break.Dec 14, 2009 Dioshieron (BC 27-AD 14) AE 15 - Augustus361 viewsAugustus, 27 BC-14 AD.
