Æ21 - Germanicus Parsley wreath

Germanicus visited Corinth during his tour of the eastern provinces in AD 17–18 under Tiberius's authority, and the city's decision to issue coinage in his name — rather than the emperor's — reflects the extraordinary personal prestige he commanded in the Greek world. He died at Antioch in AD 19, almost certainly poisoned, triggering public grief across the eastern Mediterranean that contemporary sources describe as unparalleled for a non-reigning prince. Issues like this one predate that death by over a decade, struck when Germanicus held tribunician power under Augustus.
