| Gold aureus, Rome, 201 A.D. Obv. SEVERVS PIVS AVG PM TR P VIIII; Severus, laur. head r. Rev. AETERNIT IMPERI; Caracalla, laur., draped and cuirassed bust on l., Geta, bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust on r., facing one another. RIC (Severus) 174; BMCRE p. 203, 254; Cohen (Severus, Caracalla and Geta) 4; Calicó 2602; Hill 549 Notes: Cohen gives Geta not cuirassed on reverse - possible? That reverse die certainly exists. Hill 548 gives this obverse with the reverse type AETERNIT IMPERI, Serverus and Caracalla facing - an error? The combination is not recorded by any other catalogue.
