Notes:     Unpublished variety, and the second recorded specimen Struck shortly after Caracalla's return from Britain, this type is the last of of the British Victory types. An identical type is recorded for Geta in 211 (BMCRE 18), where the figure on the ground is called Britania, but it obviously represent a river-god, as attested by the flowing water, perhaps the Tyne or the English Channel.
