« on: November 22, 2016, 06:42:10 am »
Hello everbody,

I am stuck with this coin

obverse legend reads ΓAION (My guess Caligula, but also Germanicus or Gaius possible) and KE?AN??

Hi folks,

Yes, Pekka is correct (as usual).

Being someone who specializes in collecting coins of Augustus and his family, I also immediately recognized it as a Roman Provincial coin of Gaius and Lucius. The legends gave it away.
