    You found the top one in eastern Europe! That has to be a new record as being far outside their borders. I can only imagine celts occupied the region around 200 BC depending on where it was found.

    The Caligula is the more scarce version with obverse legend naming him as grandson of Augustus.

    I was very surprised and it took me a long time to indentify, because so far, I had no experience with this type of coin..
