Ex Classical Numismatic Group 66 (19 May 2004), lot 1546.Septimius Severus died in Eboracum (York) in 211 during the British campaign. Upon the death of his father, Caracalla made peace with the hostile Caledonians and determined to return to Rome. Under the terms of the peace, the Romans removed to the southern side of Hadrian's wall which had recently been repaired by the Severans. While 'victory' was a generous term for the ultimate arrangement, the occasion of the successful British campaign was sufficient cause for Caracalla and Geta to continue striking issues commemorating the British Victory.

BMCRE lists this issue as a note with the caveat 'confirmation required.' All references cite Cohen who cited Caylus. This appears to be the first example known since Caylus reported one as a line drawing in his Numismata Aurea Imperatorum Romanorum in 1760 which appears in the catalog as number 763. Unfortunately, the drawing there is too stylized to allow for comparison to the present example.
