COIN (ROMAN)

A Roman copper alloy as, probably of Agrippa, dating to the reign of Caligula (AD 37-41). Reece period 1. The reverse is not clear but there is a standing figure in the centre. The inscription and bust on the obverse indicate the coin might be that of Agrippa, thus the image on the reverse would be Neptune. Minted in Rome.
