Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare combination of two Roman emperors, Caligula and Augustus, on the same coin. This is unusual because Caligula was known for his controversial and divisive reign, while Augustus was a highly respected and successful emperor. The fact that they are featured together on this coin may indicate that it was minted during a time of political tension or transition.
