The seller ID'd this one as a Tiberius DIVVS AVGVSTVS PATER

Apparently he never bothered to turn the coin over !
Ever since I heard a little voice telling me to take a second look at an unimpressive looking Caligula As
I have made the effort to double check the reverse !
Who knows what you might find ....

Whopping price of 60 euros

What surprises me, is the mint. Looking at the coin I would have guessed a run of the mill Roman Imperial coin. The style seems very Roman.

A very nice example! I like how the Celator added Domitian's jowls to the Divine Augustus.
