Caligula Sestertius - OB CIVES SERVATOS - legend variant?

[kc]

Hello,

do you know a Caligula Sestertius with the legend "CIVES OB SERVATOS" on the reverse? The "SPQR P P" or "EX S C" is missing.


Would be great to get a RIC reference.


Thank you.


Best regards

I think the top two lines of the rev. legend, SPQR / P P, have been removed by modern alteration. That is why the new rev. legend occupies only the bottom half of the type, while the top half of the type is strangely empty.

Yes, I can see the first P now, it is just worn, so a normal type. Nevertheless thanks for your help.

It looks like a cast anyway.

I did not dare to say so, but I agree.
