| Lot description: Judaea, Herodian Kingdom. Agrippa I. Æ (11.71 g), 37-44 CE. Caesarea Maritima, RY 8 of Agrippa I (43 CE). Claudius, togate, standing left, sacrificing from patera over altar, between Agrippa I and Herod of Chalcis, each crowning the emperor with a wreath; [L H (date) in exergue]. Reverse [OPKIA BAΣ ME AΓPIΠΠA ΠP ΣEB KAIΣAP AK ΣYNKΛHTON K ΔHMO POM ΦIΛI K ΣYNMAXI AYTOY] (mostly indistinct but a few letters clear), clasped right hands in center; c/m: blank. Hendin 1248; TJC 124a; RPC 4982. Extremely Rare and historically important. Green patina. About Fine. Estimate Value $750 - UP From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. The reverse legend mentions the treaty concluded between the Romans and Agrippa I whereby Claudius guaranteed Agrippa's kingdom, bestowing upon him the title of "Great King," and granting his brother, Herod, the territory of Chalcis in Lebanon. This was no doubt Claudius returning the favor for Agrippa's involvement in securing the support of the Roman Senate for his accession following the assassination of Caligula. |  |
