    Great Caligula, Ro!!! I love that reverse!

    Here is my Caligula Sestertius. I had it authenticated by David Sear and he taught me that this type (SPQR PP OB CIVES SERVATOS) was actually the very first Portrait Bronze coin struck at Rome :)

    Hey Ro, what do the legends on your coin say?

    Was this struck to commemorate a historical event?
