It appears that the names of locals on the coins of Philadelphia do not represent magistrates in charge of a specific office, but rather citizens who may have sponsored the production of a certain series of coins. Artemon, in this case, may have dedicated a shrine to the emperor 's mother, and celebrated the event with a coin issue.

RPC (p. 492) notes. A very large number of �magistrates� sign the coins (of Philadelphia) under Caligula: fifteen are certainly attested for his four-year reign. They give themselves various different descriptions and titles: priest of Germanicus, Olympic victor, philopatris, grammateus, and in a number of cases philokaisar. The impression created by this variety is that the persons are mentioned just as individuals rather than as holders of any specific magistracy; alternatively, one might think in terms of a board of some kind, as at Hierapolis.

Perhaps the 11th known, with the majority in museum collections.
The youngest child of Germanicus and Agrippina Senior, Julia Livilla was born on the island of Lesbos during her parents� tour of the eastern provinces. She is best known, like her sisters Agrippina Junior and Drusilla, for the alleged incestuous relationship she had with her brother, Caligula. Suetonius, the earliest historian to make this scandalous accusation, claims that the incest even took place during banquets (Gai xxiv), �when much company was present�, and that the emperor �placed each of them [his sisters] in turns below him, while his wife reclined above him.� It is telling that the tales of incest go unmentioned by historians such as Seneca and Philo, who actually lived during the reign of Caligula, and there is serious scholarly doubt if there is any truth to these claims. Nonetheless, the tales were often repeated by later chroniclers, and the incestuous relationship between Caligula and his sisters is fixed in popular imagination as one of great scandals of the Roman emperors. cngcoins.com

REGARDING RPC 182 ISSUE This is a very important issue, struck under Tiberius. It is the only accepted (because of the inscription) pre-accession issue we have of Gaius Caligula, there are no accepted portraits in the round or on any other numismatics. For problems with the dating of Tiberian Coinage see RPC and A. Banti and L. Simonetti, Corpus Nummorum Romanorum (XIII Florence: 1977 pp. 141-50 deal with dating to 34 A.D. (PolliniJWAG, note 28 for more explanation. Also: "Aspects of the Principate of Tiberius", Historical comments on the Colonial coinage issued outside Spain, Michael Grant- The American Numismatic Society - Numismatic Notes and Monographs(1950) There are some issues with inscriptions and dating in Banti Simonetti. Dated to 32-33 A.D.? There are many candidates for a portrait of Caligula in the round, but no scholar will attest to the fact due to no inscribed base or inscription being found with sculpture. Therefore, this coin is very important to portrait specialists. It reminds me of the importance of numismatics in all portrait disciplines, unfortunately this issue is usually found with a crude type portrait for Caligula, and is of little help with hairstyle and physiognomy.
