<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brassnautilus, post: 2289025, member: 74300&quot;]I had always thought this was struck under Claudius. Not only that Claudius had a much longer reign, he was Drusus&#039; son, closer related to him than Caligula.</p><p>That said, this isn&#039;t the first time I&#039;ve seen this coin attributed to Caligula. Just a common mistake or was there some legit reason behind this?</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i64.tinypic.com/1husgk.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Actually I had seen the other Drusus denarius attributed to different rulers as well (one with the triumphal arch). If that was minted by Claudius and not Drusus&#039; brother, then I suppose there&#039;s a chance that the shields coin was done by Caligula, since it would be less common for the same ruler to make 2 different coins (of the same demonetization) honoring the same person/event, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
