<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IdesOfMarch01, post: 2879352, member: 39084&quot;]I was fortunate to find this Caligula denarius about a year after I started collecting ancients.&nbsp; I especially like the reverse portrait of Augustus, and the smallish letters on the reverse legend are very elegantly engraved, allowing for a large portrait area.&nbsp; The toning is also quite nice, which is not well captured by the photo.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]689724[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>GAIUS (CALIGULA)</p><p>AR Denarius (3.68 g.)&nbsp; Lugdunum 37 - 38 A.D.&nbsp; RIC 16</p><p>C CAESAR AVG GERM P M TR POT laureate head of Caligula right. </p><p>Obv.
