| Beschrijving keerzijde | Jugate draped busts of Julia Agrippina the Younger and Claudia Octavia facing right, rendered in the provincial Greek idiom. The two female portraits are presented in close jugate arrangement, with Agrippina positioned in front as the senior figure. Both busts are draped, reflecting their imperial status. The encircling Greek legend identifies the two women by name and title, a remarkable pairing attesting to the political prominence of both figures in the early years of Nero's reign. |

Methymna was a secondary polis on Lesbos, politically overshadowed by Mytilene yet still striking its own civic bronze under Nero — a privilege that required demonstrable loyalty to Rome. This piece names both Agrippina the Younger and Octavia alongside Nero, a pairing that situates it early in the reign, before Agrippina's murder in 59 AD and Octavia's execution in 62 AD effectively erased both women from official favor.
The simultaneous honoring of three Julio-Claudians on a single provincial bronze from a minor Aegean city is unusual and narrows the likely striking window considerably.
