| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Germanicus facing left, rendered in the portraiture style characteristic of early Julio-Claudian provincial coinage. The effigy displays a youthful, idealized likeness with fine facial features consistent with known representations of the prince. A Latin legend encircles the portrait within a beaded border, partially legible on this heavily worn and corroded specimen. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Italica, founded in 206 BC by Scipio Africanus for veterans of the Punic Wars, was one of the oldest Roman settlements in Hispania and took particular pride in that heritage. This issue honors Germanicus during his lifetime — he died in 19 AD under circumstances suspicious enough that Tiberius's governor Gnaeus Calpurnius Piso was tried for his murder. The municipium's eagerness to strike coinage for the popular general reflects the intense dynastic politics surrounding Julio-Claudian succession in the years immediately following Augustus's death.
