Notes
This Eastern reverse legend is anomalous since on the official reckoning Caracalla's fourth tribunician year ended on 10 December 201 and he did not become consul until 1 January 202. P MAX should be interpreted as Parthicus Maximus, since Caracalla did not become Pontifex Maximus until after Septimius Severus died
