[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3683797, member: 93702"]I often wonder .. as I am sure we all do at times, what coins would have looked like if these Emperors knew that we would be looking at and collecting their coins nearly 2000 years later... that they were not just propaganda of the day - but a window to their legacy and historical documents unto themselves... I find Caligula's Imperial coinage particularly bland (outside of the "3 sisters" and a couple of other issues).. but he did give us a great coins commemorating his Father, Mother and one that many of us own - his Grandfather Agrippa.. -sorry rough example: [ATTACH=full]988321[/ATTACH] I only own a Provincial issue for Caligula... I am sure there must be more interesting Provincial coins of "little boot"? [ATTACH=full]988325[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]988328[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
