Like the precious metal coinage, the bronzes of Caligula relate to family and dynasty. Here the types refer to Caligula's deceased father, Germanicus, who had avenged the loss of standards at Teutoburg Forest. He was able to recover two of those three that had been lost. The obverse shows a triumphant Germanicus while the reverse uses the legend so common on types of Augustus "SIGNIS RECEPT". An interesting coin type in that both sides relate to Germanicus.
