| Lot description: Agrippina II and Octavia. . AE 19, 6.70g. Trachonitis, Caesarea Panias, 54-59 CE. Obv: AGRIPPINA - AVG Agrippina II seated left holding branch and cornucopia, crescent in left field. Rx: OCTAVIA - AVGVSTI Octavia standing left holding patera over lighted altar. The crescent in obverse field not mentioned in RPC, though it is visible on the second of the two specimens illustrated there, pl. 175. Hendin 577. RPC 4845 (5 specimens). About VF. Ex Dr. Stephen Gerson Collection. Apparently struck after Nero's accession, since the reverse legend calls Octavian "(wife) of the Augustus", but before Nero murdered his mother in 59, since she still appears on the obverse of the coin. According to the RPC index, this is the only coin known of Agrippina II and Octavia together. Estimate: US$650 |  |
