Perhaps more than any other emperor of Rome, Caligula honored his family on his coinage, both living and deceased members. Besides his surviving sisters, amongst those so honored were his great-grandfather Augustus, his grandfather Agrippa, his father Germanicus, and his mother and his two brothers, Agrippina I and Nero and Drusus Caesars, the latter three succumbing in the family's contest for power against Sejanus, Tiberius's notorious Praetorian Prefect. This beautiful coin remembers Caligula's grandfather, Agrippa, the close friend of Augustus and his star general.

Accompanied by his wife Julia Domna and sons Caracalla and Geta, Septimius Severus carried out his last military campaign against the Caledonians on Britain's northern frontier. Severus fell ill - with Caracalla then assuming sole command of the campaign - and died at the Roman headquarters in York in February AD 211. Following his death, Caracalla made peace with the Caledonians, which required the Romans to retreat behind the agreed-upon border of Hadrian's Wall.

Galla Placidia was a daughter of Theodosius I and half-sister of the emperors Arcadius and Honorius. In 410 she was taken hostage by the Goths and subsequently married to the Gothic king Ataulf. After his death, she was released back to the Romans in exchange for 600,000 modii of wheat. She subsequently married the Roman general Constantius, who in 421 became emperor. Her son, Valentinian III, ascended the western throne in 425, and as he was very young she led the affairs of state for more than a decade.
