Green-brown patina, cleaning scratches, deposits, small flan chip. Near VF. Rare. There is some disagreement as to which emperor this issue belongs to. SNG Levante assigns it to Tiberius, while the authors of RPC tentatively place it under Caligula, but if the reading of the Pomeian date is correct, the attribution to Caligula is certain.
