Additional information

Agrippa II held his tetrarchy entirely at Rome's pleasure, and his coinage reflects that dependency with unusual clarity. The regnal year ΚΘ (year 29) places this piece in 77–78 CE, when Vespasian was consolidating Flavian dynastic authority following the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Agrippa had sided openly with Rome during the Jewish War — reportedly maintaining close personal ties with Vespasian and Titus — and his continued reign was effectively a reward for that loyalty.

Caesarea Paneas, rebuilt and renamed Neronias briefly under Nero, reverted to its earlier name after his fall. Bronze issues from Agrippa II's later regnal years are notably scarcer than his earlier production, and year 29 pieces see relatively thin representation in major collections.
