Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denarius - Caracalla and Plautilla (PLAVTILLAE AVGVSTAE) (202) coin is that it features the first recorded use of the title "Augusta" for an empress, in this case, Plautilla, the wife of Caracalla. This title would become a standard honorific for empresses in the Roman Empire from then on.
