| Beschrijving keerzijde | Neptune stands facing front, nude save for a chlamys draped over his left arm and falling behind him, his feet set apart in a commanding stance. He holds a large trident upright in his right hand, while his extended left hand grasps a small dolphin by the tail, referencing both his dominion over the sea and the naval victories of Agrippa. The monumental senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consulto) is placed prominently in the field to either side of the figure, flanking it in large letters. A dotted border encircles the entire design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Agrippa died in 12 BC, yet this as was struck under Caligula some four to five decades later as a posthumous tribute to Augustus's greatest general and son-in-law. The issue was almost certainly politically motivated — Caligula's father Germanicus was Agrippa's grandson, and honoring Agrippa reinforced the family's Augustan legitimacy at the start of a new reign.
RIC I 58 is one of the more frequently encountered aes issues of the Julio-Claudian period, suggesting it was produced in substantial numbers. The SC on the reverse confirms senatorial authorization for the bronze coinage, a formality that remained intact throughout the early imperial period.
