Here’s my Agrippa As minted under Caligula. I’ve posted it plenty of times but I finally got around to taking somewhat decent pics. Post some coins of Caligula or any featuring Roman figures besides the emperor.
Very nice coin! I do love this issue - its a great bust! I have two of them - in fairly low grade but this is one general (and Consul) that certainly deserved to be commemorated on a coin. Here is one...

My Agrippa is one of my favourite coins: There are several distinct bust styles on these, I wonder if anyone's done a systematic comparison or a die study.
