Beschrijving voorzijde Diademed and draped bust of Herod Agrippa I facing right, rendered in the Hellenistic portrait tradition. The effigy is set within a circular field surrounded by the royal Greek legend. The strike is characteristically irregular, as typical of Herodian bronze coinage of this period. A countermark is visible in the lower right field.

Aanvullende informatie

Herod Agrippa I is the only Herodian ruler to have governed the entirety of Judea — a territory matching the boundaries of his grandfather Herod the Great — and he did so for barely three years before his sudden death in 44 AD, an event described in detail by both Josephus and the Acts of the Apostles. This issue dates to his third regnal year, the last full year of that consolidated rule. Agrippa cultivated favor simultaneously with Rome and with Jewish religious authorities, a balancing act reflected in his coinage: his Jerusalem bronzes avoid figural imagery entirely, which this piece does.
