| Reverse description | Draped bust of Agrippina the Elder facing right, her hair elaborately waved and drawn back into a long queue falling over the neck and shoulder in the fashionable Julio-Claudian style. The portrait is rendered with fine detail, reflecting the posthumous honorific character of the issue. The encircling legend AGRIPPINA MAT C CAES AVG GERM runs around the bust, identifying her as the mother of Caligula. The reverse design commemorates Caligula's veneration of his mother, whose remains he had solemnly transported to Rome upon his accession. |
