Æ As 37/8 AD, CALIGULA 37–41 AD Rome. Bare head left (C CAES)AR AVG GERMANICVS PO(N M TR POT). Rev. Vesta seated left holding patera S – C.RIC 38; BMC 46.Ex collection Jaap van der Veen. The name of the ruler is unreadable on this coin, ostensibly due to scratches. It is very likely that his was deliberately done in antiquity as a result of the damnation memoriae pronounced against Caligula after his death; the erasure of his name and image from history. Statues were torn down and inscriptions destroyed; this included his coins.Possible damnatio. 11.22 g. Dark green patina Very fine +
