Æ30 Caracalla Thrace

Augusta Traiana, modern Stara Zagora in Bulgaria, was one of the more active provincial mints in Thrace during the Severan period, striking a substantial volume of bronze for local circulation while the imperial mints handled precious metals. Caracalla's co-reign with Septimius Severus from 198 AD and his sole rule after 211 account for the broad date range assigned to this type — attribution to a specific phase within that window typically depends on the reverse type and titulature.

The Moushon 2025 reference suggests a recently catalogued or reclassified piece within the Thracian provincial corpus, a field still being systematically worked through by specialists.
