I am more than happy to tip wait staff, taxi drivers, and other service employees who traditionally are supposed to be tipped. However, the tip...
I enjoyed looking at the dinged and non-dinged versions side by side and comparing the die engraving. The designs are fairly close considering...
I only have 2 of the 12 Caesars, a Tiberius denarius and this Caligula quadrans. It has no portrait but I bought it on impulse as I was enamored...
