These are all mules from an old obv. die, omitting BRIT which Caracalla had assumed in the course of the preceding year. The ASSES with the same rev. type all correctly add BRIT to the obv. legend, but as far as I know dupondii were struck only from this obsolete die without BRIT. The corresponding dupondii of Caracalla WITH P P, however, struck after the arrival in Rome of the news of Septimius' death at York on 4 Feb. 211, were all struck from current obv. dies correctly naming the emperor BRIT.
As to the publication history, sometimes correct descriptions of this dupondius without BRIT on the obv. have been wrongly amended by later cataloguers, who have added the BRIT that they assumed must have been there!
