Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) with Agrippa. AE As, Nemausus mint, c. 10-14 AD

Lotto n. 357

Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) with Agrippa. AE As, Nemausus mint, c. 10-14 AD. D/ Heads of Agrippa, wearing combined rostral crown and laurel wreath, to left and Augustus, laureate, to right, back to back; IMP above, DIVI F below, P P across field. R/ Crocodile right, chained to palm tree; above, wreath with long ties; COL NEM across field. RIC I (2nd ed.) 159; RPC I 525. AE. 11.76 g. 26 mm. Nice emerald green patina; metal-flaws, otherwise. Good VF. This coin type was first issued to commemorate Augustus’ establishment of the colony Colonia Augusta Nemausus in southern Gaul in 27 BC. However, this particular example comes from a later reissue, struck two years after Agrippa’s death. The presence of P P (Pater Patriae) on the obverse indicates it was minted after Augustus received this title in 2 BC, confirming it as a subsequent emission of the well-known 'crocodile dupondius'.
