<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 2215941, member: 74968&quot;]You can find a nice Caligula with vesta reverse for a decent price. These are common. His denarii are another story altogether. While there is much speculation there does not seem to be a definite explanation for this scarcity. The one I hear most often is that when Nero debased the coinage he recalled the denarii from rulers including Claudius and Caligula which had a higher silver content. The denarii of Claudius and Caligula were therefore melted down for new coins. The denarii for both of these rulers are therefore both scarce and expensive.</p><p>I am currently looking for a denarius of Caligula and know I will have to search for a while and be prepared to pay a lot for it once I find it.</p><p><br /></p><p>(You just beat me to it Mat)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
