I like it.

Got any Tiberius or Caligula coins? (Ah Caligula what a guy!)

Sadly, no Tiberius or Caligula. Although I do have a Commodus denarius and an Elagabalus tetradrachm. These two would easily compete with Caligula for the title of `most insane and bloodthirsty Roman Emperor'.

Ah old Elagabalus... the Emperor that wanted to be a girl.

Commodus well yeah, Joaquin Phoenix gave a glimpse of his character. Except for the fact that Commodus thought he was Hercules.
