Agrippa Struck under Caligula ?
« on: June 27, 2020, 03:01:55 pm »

Hello friends
please, I need to know if it is an Agrippa coined under Caligula.

Hypothetically, this would be the classification. Is correct ?

TKS

sear5 #1812   Agrippa, AE As. Agrippa. Struck under Caligula, 37-41 AD. M AGRIPPA L F COS III, head left wearing rostral crown / S-C, Neptune standing facing, head left, naked except for cloak draped behind him & over both arms, holding small dolphin in right hand & vertical trident in left. Cohen 3.

There are examples issued by Titus and Domitian, but the SC is small on these examples and there is an additional reverse legend.

Since there are traces of a big C on your coin and no visible additional reverse legend, I think Caligula is correct.
