Æ13 - Herod Agrippa II

Herod Agrippa II ruled as the last of the Herodian client kings under Roman authority, his reign extending well past the Jewish War of 66–73 CE — a conflict in which he actively sided with Rome. That loyalty kept him in power through the destruction of the Temple and the fall of Jerusalem, a political calculation that earned him additional territory even as his kingdom's population was decimated. This small bronze was struck in the final years of his reign, well into the Flavian period, when his authority had become largely ceremonial.
