JUDAEA, Herodians. Agrippa I, with Agrippa II. A.D. 37-43. Bronze (1.42g). Caesarea Paneas mint. Dated RY 5, A.D. 40/1. Diademed bust of Agrippa II right; [LE date to left] / Crossed cornucopiae. Meshorer 119 (Tiberias mint); Hendin 1243; RPC I 4979. gF. Earthen dark green-brown patina. Very rare. For the type and a lower-quality example see; CNG Auction 118, lot 524, hammered US$800. This rare Caesarea Paneas issue from Agrippa I's fifth regnal year reflects the Herodian dynasty's close alignment with Rome while showing how portrait coinage could be used in a largely non-Jewish city, unlike Jerusalem where aniconic traditions prevailed. The series, naming figures from both the Herodian and imperial families, offers a vivid glimpse into the political and cultural balance of early 1st century Judaea. (P) |
