Notes:     NFA Auction 7, Lot 408 The aurei and denarii struck between 41 A.D. and 47 A.D. with the praetorian camp reverse allude to the events following Caligula’s assassination. Claudius, after being discovered in a corner of the palace, was dragged to the castra praetoria, where he expected to be killed but instead received the purple. The legend IMPER(ATOR) RECEPT(US) is significant
