<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2063097, member: 19463&quot;]I believe denarii of Caligula, Claudius and the first years of Nero were removed from circulation extensively when Nero debased the coinage for the first time.&nbsp; Many were made but few survived.&nbsp;&nbsp; The tets were low grade silver to start with so there was no demand for them among the melters.&nbsp; I am a little surprised that this Messalina coin and Nero&#039;s Poppaea don&#039;t bring more since they provide another person from our list of famous Romans.&nbsp; The big question to me is why we don&#039;t have Alexandrian coins from Caligula.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
