Son of Agrippa I, upon his father's death, Agrippa II was in Rome for his education. Emperor Claudius did not grant him the throne of Judea because of his age (17) and placed the kingdom under the rule of a procurator. Agrippa nevertheless made himself useful to the Romans and was crowned in 50 AD. He is remembered as a vassal king of Rome who was completely subjugated to the Romans. In fact, all his coins also bear the portrait of an emperor. When the Jewish Revolt broke out in 66, he worked to achieve peace, repeatedly trying to persuade the Jews to surrender, remaining constantly on the side of the Romans, who rewarded him with territories that enlarged his kingdom. Little is known about the last years of his life, which probably ended after 100 AD. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 12.52 g. Diameter: 27 mm.

Lot # 539 - ANONYMOUS. Didrachm (Circa 265 BC). Rome. Obv: Diademed head of young Hercules right, with lion skin around neck; club on shoulder.Rev: ROMANO. She-wolf standing right, head left, suckling the twins Romulus and Remus.Crawford 20/1; HN Italy 287; RBW 23.The reverse of this Didrachm evokes one of the most widely attested legends about the foundation of Rome, faithfully reproduced from the famous sculpture preserved in the Capitoline Museums. Rome's earliest bronze and silver coinage dates not earlier than the end of the 4th century BC. Produced initially in small quantities, they follow the pattern and weight values of Neapolitan coinage, so they are traditionally called 'Romano-Campananian' series. This occurred mainly after the stipulation of the 'foedum aequum', an agreement sanctioned between Rome and Neapolis in 326, at the time of the Second Samnite War, which marked the beginning of the Roman conquest of southern Italy. The period in which Rome began to produce coinage, between the second conflict with the Samnites until the end of the Punic Wars, coincides with the most intense phase of Roman expansion, implemented through the foundation of colonies and a widespread network of alliances. These issues responded to the need to meet the costs of military enterprises and subsequent public works in occupied territories. The myth of the she-wolf suckling the twins is the result of several elaborations by various authors over the centuries, and it was only in the Augustan age that it took on the definitive form that has been handed down to us, mainly by Titus Livius. The historian tells of Aeneas who landed in Lazio and his descendants, up to Numitor, king of Alba, who was deposed by his brother Amulius. The latter had Numitor's sons killed and forced his only daughter, Rhea Silvia, to become a vestal, so that she would remain a virgin and not bear a son who might one day take revenge and reclaim the throne he had usurped. The vestal virgin was raped and gave birth to twins. In an attempt to save herself, she claimed that the father of her illegitimate offspring was Mars. However, Rhea Silvia was condemned and imprisoned, while the twins were placed in a basket and abandoned on the waters of the Tiber. According to Livius, divine will caused the river to overflow and forced the servants to leave the basket in a pool near the ficus Ruminalis (in the Velabrum). Here, a thirsty she-wolf, attracted by their cries, offered to suckle them and was noticed by the king's herdsman Faustulus, who took them to be raised by his wife.

Lot # 540 - ANONYMOUS. Didrachm or Quadrigatus (Circa 225-214 BC). Rome. Obv: Laureate head of Janus.Rev: Jupiter, holding sceptre and thunderbolt, in quadriga driven by Victory right; ROMA incuse on tablet in exergue.Crawford 28/3; HN Italy 334; RBW 64.Rome's earliest bronze and silver coinage dates not earlier than the end of the 4th century BC. Produced initially in small quantities, they follow the pattern and weight values of Neapolitan coinage, so they are traditionally called 'Romano-Campananian' series. This occurred mainly after the stipulation of the 'foedum aequum', an agreement sanctioned between Rome and Neapolis in 326, at the time of the Second Samnite War, which marked the beginning of the Roman conquest of southern Italy. The period in which Rome began to produce coinage, between the second conflict with the Samnites until the end of the Punic Wars, coincides with the most intense phase of Roman expansion, implemented through the foundation of colonies and a widespread network of alliances. These issues responded to the need to meet the costs of military enterprises and subsequent public works in occupied territories. After the Campanian-influenced phase, Rome reorganized its monetary structure around the middle of the third century, introducing fixed images on silver series, with the introduction of the Quadrigatus. This silver coin on the obverse bears the youthful head of two-faced Janus and on the reverse a quadriga; it is flanked by the first gold issues, which, because of the depiction on the reverse, are called the 'oath' series. The precise dating of this restructuring of the monetary system is still a matter of debate; however the prow symbolizes an important naval victory, achieved at the time of the wars against the Carthaginians, when the Romans achieved their first significant victories on the sea. Quadrigate production is particularly impressive, probably spread over several mints besides Rome (as in Campania and Sicily). Its chronology, usually placed by scholars between 225 and 214 BC, may be broader to explain the abundance of issues. With the quadrigatus, which over time, like the silver coin series of Syracuse of the same years, is subject to a gradual decline in weight (from 6.60g to 4.50g), the first phase of Roman coinage comes to an end. Rome thus produced silver and bronze minted coinage related to the tradition of Greek cities and, at about the same time, heavy cast bronze series typical of Italic areas. Its colonies in non-Hellenic areas, where the use of metal by weight was rooted, also produced heavy bronze coinage, with the local value of the pound and its subdivisions.
