The deity stands on a low base or ground line, rendered in the provincial Hellenistic style typical of Caesarea Maritima. The Greek regnal legend of Agrippa II is distributed in the field in two columns flanking the figure. |

| Additional information |
Caesarea Maritima served as the Roman administrative capital of Judaea, and this coin was struck in the immediate aftermath of the First Jewish-Roman War — Jerusalem had fallen in 70 CE, the Temple destroyed, and Agrippa II, who had sided with Rome throughout the conflict, retained his client-kingdom status as reward. The date formula ΕΤ ΔΙΒΑ encodes regnal year 17 of Agrippa II's era, placing the strike in 73/74 CE, while Titus was still mopping up the last holdouts at Masada.
Agrippa II outlived the Flavian dynasty itself, dying sometime around 92–100 CE — the precise date remains disputed.
