TYPE Roman Empire, Caracalla (198-217 AD), silver denarius, struck 210-3 AD. DESCRIPTION . Obv: Laureate head of Caracalla to right, legend: ANTONINVS PIVS AVG BRIT Rev: Hercules holding branch and club with lion skin, legend: PM TRP XVI COS IIII PP REFERENCE: SR 1916, RIC 34, RSC 61 GRADING: EF ORDER INFO: R1309, $70 Herculean bravery was perhaps the implication on the reverse of this "BRIT" piece, issued during and immediately after the British campaign of 210-2 AD, in which his father Septimius passed away peacefully. But it did certainly not end up meaning Herculean valor, as Caracalla's fratricide and other crimes and excesses quickly led to popular discontent, and eventually to his assassination a mere few years later.
