The 37AD-38AD As - Gaius (Caligula)Copper As of Emperor Gaius (better known as Caligula) minted between 37AD and 38AD at the Rome Mint. This was a normal reverse for an As during Caligula. Diameter 30mm and weighs 9.8g.
The Obverse shows the bare head of Caligula facing left. Legend is "C CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS PON M TR POT".
The edge is plain.
The Reverse is Vesta, the goddess of the hearth, home, and family, facing left, veiled with a patera (a small dish) in her right hand and angled long sceptre in her right. Legend above is "VESTA" and "S C" across. SC means senatus consultum, or 'by decree of the Senate' so the coin was an official issue.Image credit: Museums Victoria
