Æ16 - Caligula ΑΓΡΙΠΠΙΝΑ ΑΙΖΑΝΙΤΩΝ ΕΠΙ ΜΗΔΗΟΥ

Aezanis, a Phrygian city whose magistrate Medeios is named on this issue, was unusual in striking coins that honored Agrippina the Elder — Caligula's mother — at a moment when her posthumous rehabilitation was politically charged. Caligula had her memory restored immediately upon his accession in 37 AD, reversing the damnatio effectively imposed under Tiberius, who had her starved to death on Pandateria in 33 AD. Provincial mints moved quickly to reflect that shift.
