Festivus came early when the mailman made his rounds Caligula AE Sesterius Obv Pietas seated left holding patera C CAESAR DIVI AVG PRON AVG P M TR P IIII P P - PIETAS in exergue Rv Caligula sacrificing (holding patera) before garlanded temple with two attendants while bull is getting throat sliced ! DIVO AVG S C AD 41-2 Rome mint Sear 1802 RIC 51 34-5mm 25.98 grams The seller had this coin ID'd as a possible "phalera" which is a decoration used to adorn a soldiers breast plate. I believe he is correct ! I showed this coin to a dealer very knowledgeable about Roman coins. His words ..... "It's got a hole in it" When I pointed out that the hole is rectangular and apparently 'plugged' he said .... "It's got a hole in it" But why is it rectangular ? "It's a hole" Some people just can't be satisfied ! $63 plus shipping ....... I'll take all you got at that price HAPPY FESTIVUS !
