Additional information

Caesarea Paneas — built by Philip the Tetrarch and later renamed in Nero's honor before reverting — issued this coin in regnal year 26 of Agrippa II, whose reign the city dated independently of Roman imperial chronology. Agrippa had sided openly with Rome during the Jewish War of 66–73 AD, and the Flavian dynasty rewarded him with expanded territory. Domitian's name appearing alongside Agrippa's is less a partnership than a declaration of whose protection underwrote the local king's continued authority.

The city's bronzes from this period are notoriously variable in flan preparation, and adjustment marks on the reverse are common enough to be considered characteristic of the issue rather than exceptional.
