Interesting coin with nice portrait and almost complete legend! Congrats on a great pickup!

nice, not the typical "VESTA" issue, that VESTA one doesn't do anything for me so I'm going to have to look for something else for my set as well

Exactly why I liked this type. Vesta everyone does

I've always liked this type and the desert patina on yours is nice. In the end, I went with another VESTA for my 12 Caesars set, but I like yours as an affordable alternative. Also like how the obverse legends stand out and are all on the flan.

Bronzemat: Super nice coin! The legends are really pretty clean and easy to read, even the reverse which is more worn than the obverse. I haven't found an affordable (for me) Caligula for my 12 Caesars set yet, but I would be lucky to find a piece like this. Thank goodness for the provincial issues.
