NathanF Posted November 10, 2022 · Member Share Posted November 10, 2022 My fourth Caligula Provincial arrived today! This one particularly stood out to me due to the really neat Pegasus reverse and its mintage in Corinth, my first provincial from the city! Feel free to post any relevant coins below. Caligula. 37-41 AD. CORINTHIA, Corinth. Æ (21mm, 6.06 gm, 10h). P. Vipsanius Agrippa, duovir. Obv: C CAESAR AVGVS, bare head right. Rev: P VIPSANIO AGRIPPA II VIR, Pegasus flying right. RPC I 1172 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Collector Posted November 10, 2022 · Patron Share Posted November 10, 2022 I love it! I have only two provincials of Caligula, but the Corinth Pegasus type is my favorite of the two! Caligula, AD 37-41. Roman provincial Æ 20 mm, 6.74 g. Peloponnese, Corinthia, Corinth, Ae. P. Vipsanius Agrippa and M. Bellius Proculus, duoviri, AD 37-38. Obv: C CAESAR AVGVSTV, bare head right. Rev: M BELLIO PROCVLO IIVIR / COR, Pegasus flying right. Refs: RPC I 1173; Amandry (1988) XVII; BCD Corinth 405-6. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambr0zie Posted November 10, 2022 · Member Share Posted November 10, 2022 These coins are a combo hard to tick on Provincial coins - a rarer ruler + an interesting reverse. Well done both! My only Caligula provincial has a duller reverse Gaius Caligula, struck 37-38 AD, Ionia, Smyrna. ΓΑΙΟΝ ΚΑΙϹΑΡΑ ƐΠΙ ΑΟΥ(Ι)ΟΛΑ, laureate head of Caligula, r. / ΖΜΥΡΝΑΙWΝ ΜΗΝΟΦΑΝΗϹ, Nike, r., with palm and wreath RPC I 2473, Klose XXVII A My only Corinth coin is a little confusing ... as I am not entirely sure it is Corinth. Attribution I have is Corinthia. Corinth circa 345-307 BC. Drachm AR 13 mm, 1,87 g Pegasos flying left, wings curled, Koppa below. / Head of Aphrodite left, hair in a sakkos. ΠA monogram behind head. BCD Corinth 162; SNG Fitzwilliam 3455-3456; SNG Cop. 136. But the metrics are low for a drachm so I suspect a hemidrachm. Not sure that is Aphrodite. Something similar I found but without the monogram behind head. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
