Augustus (27 BC-14 AD) with Agrippa. AE As, Nemausus mint, c. 10-14 AD
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. 12.91 g. 26.5 mm. Dark green patina. Well centered on a large flan; several scratches, 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'.
