Superb portrait. Coin has almost no wear despite its ancient age. Coin would make a great addition to any collection with a mythological theme. Arguably the most well known mythological creature, Hercules, the son of God, was known for his great strength. Caracalla, is known for being one of the cruelest of the Roman Emperors. The name "Caracalla" was reportedly named after a long Gallic cloak which he wore.
