Budget Caligula

Great Caligula Sallent!! Congrats!
I used to have a Caligula which had heavier encrustations. I have since traded mine for some other ancient coins.

That's a nice budget Caligula! That's a nice one period!

This would work for a 12 caesar set, but it's my only Caligula coin.



Germanicus. Æ Dupondius Struck under Gaius (Caligula), AD 37-41.


O: GERMANICVS/CAESAR in two lines above, Germanicus standing right in chariot, R: SIGNIS RECEPT/DEVICTIS GERM/S C in three lines across field, Germanicus, bareheaded, wearing cuirass and short tunic, holding aquila in left hand.

haha! well..if it's better than what ya had it is!

 

A $3 cull to a $10 one

 

that'll work fine!

 

..on up the ladder o success friend!

 

that is a nice one @Sallent ..i guess i could show my bronze n brass As Caligulas since i'm here...

 

you got a purdy good deal on that one for $10..my brass one ain't too much better and i paid i think around $70 for it more than 10 years ago..

 

Nice snare on the Caligula @Sallent ! I think you got a super value, and now you are really close to amassing the Seutonius Twelve!

I have this budget Gaius Little Boot to toss in...

Nice coin. And yeah, just good old Nero and Galba left. The Nero should be fairly easy. Galba might take a little patience. Either way I'm pretty sure I'll complete the set this year, which is pretty good considering I was missing 5 of the 12 Caesars on January 1, 2018.

 

Great cion @Sallent - good to see you're closing in on a goal. It's always a fun time when you hit that stage of being just a couple of coins away.
