<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2243102, member: 74968&quot;]I just received this Caligula denarius that I purchased on Forvm. I have been trying to put together a set of the 12 caesars in silver. I had read that Claudius and Caligula would be the most difficult to find and purchase (and they were). I am very excited to have this coin. I know it is quite worn, but I believe that the Caligula portrait is quite striking. I feel that the style of this portrait is quite different from those of other emperors.</p><p><br /></p><p>I now have 4 coins left to complete the set: Tiberius, Galba, Titus, and Domitian.</p><p><br /></p><p>Caligula and Agrippina AR Denarius, aF, toned, bumps and marks, 2.680g, 17.8mm, 180o, Lugdunum (Lyon, France) mint, end of 37 - early 38 A.D.;</p><p>Obv: C CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR POT (counterclockwise), laureate head of Gaius right; Rev: AGRIPPINA MAT C CAES AVG GERM (counterclockwise), draped bust of Agrippina Senior (his mother), her hair in a queue behind, one curly lock falls loose on the side of her neck, RIC I 14 (Rome), RSC II 2; BMCRE I 15 (Rome), BnF II 24, Hunter I 7 (Rome), SRCV I 1825 Ex: the Jyrki Muona Collection</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]442682[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
