Agrippa, Struck Under his Grandson Caligula, 38 A.D.; Countermark: Moesia or Thrace, Civil War, 68 - 69 A.D.
|Countermarked|, |Agrippa,| |Struck| |Under| |his| |Grandson| |Caligula,| |38| |A.D.;| |Countermark:| |Moesia| |or| |Thrace,| |Civil| |War,| |68| |-| |69| |A.D.|, Pangerl (Pangerl 87) attributes this P R countermark to Moesia or Thrace and dates it to the Roman civil war of 68 - 69 A.D. He interprets it to abbreviate Populus Romanus. Howgego (Howgego 599) lists a contemporary P R countermark (sometimes retrograde) that was applied in Syria, probably at Antioch. These use of P R was almost certainly intended to suggest the support of the people of the Roman Empire for the revolt of Galba and Vindex.
