Next- an oddity

6h rule... but I will try it with a coin with a little oddity for me - because Plautilla looks like a "Elf Princess from Lord of the Rings" and the reverse looks like two skeletons greeting each other, especially Caracalla.

Publia Fulvia Plautilla
Denarius of the Roman Imperial Period 202/205 AD; Material: Silver; Diameter: 19mm; Weight: 3.41g; Mint: Rome; Reference: RIC IV Caracalla 365b; Provenance: Ex CGB.fr Numismatique Paris
 
Obverse:
Visible is the draped bust of Fulvia Plautilla facing right. The inscription reads: PLAVTILLA AVGVSTA for Plautilla Augusta.
 
Reverse:
Shown are Plautilla to the left and toga-clad Caracalla to the right, both standing facing each other holding hands. The inscription reads: CONCORDIA FELIX for Concordia felix (the fortunate harmony).
 
 
 
Next: a coin from one of Elagabalus wife or the wife of Severus Alexander.

The engraver left the "L" off of LEPIDUS then came back and stuck a tiny one in.  Almost missing!?
