534/2 Octavian, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa
Octavian and M. Vipsanius Agrippa.  AR Denarius.  Military mint moving with Octavian.  c. 38 A.D. (3.48g, 18.2mm, 6h).  Obv: DIVOS IVLIVS DIVI F, confronting heads of Julius Caesar, wreathed r., Octavian, bare headed, l. banker's marks  Rev:  M AGRIPPA COS DESIG. Craw. 534/2, Vipsania 2.

An exceedingly rare issue, I had to have this despite its condition.  Worn, but not beyond recognition, this was an issue under the authority of Agrippa who was governor of Gaul at the time.  This is a first use of confronting busts which became more common on dynastic issues of the Empire.  The picture does not show it well, but the reverse legend is all there.
