Recently bought this Caligula As , compared to others which are between 10-12 gram this one is 17 gram. Wonder why. Some Info about Segobriga: untill 1600 AD it was difficult to produce flat glass for windows in a decent size, by the 17th Century glassmakers were able, using the cylinder method, to produce flat glass that measured 8 feet x 14 inches. During the 1950's Pilkington in England invented the float glass method, pouring melted glass over a layer over melted tin or lead. The result was perfect flat glass in large dimensions, and without distortion. Please show your Segobriga coins. Thanks.
