I got a really low-grade Germanicus as from an eBay lot and I figured it was issued by Caligula, but the reverse inscription (what is left of it) wasn't matching up. Turns out it is a Titus restoration issue. A pleasant surprise to be sure. [ATTACH=full]1126954[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1126955[/ATTACH] [B]Titus Æ As Germanicus Restoration Issue (80-81 A.D.)
