I did an article called "Portraits of Caligula: The Seated Figure? It was to prove that Caligula was the first living princeps to appear radiate on imperial coinage? This was one of the provincial issues I used to show Caligula with Radiate attribution. It is a very important historical coin for its solar imagery and iconography. Joe Geranio
