Watch List notes:

The Roman Empire
In the name of Antonia, wife of Nero Claudius Drusus

Antonia's portraits on bronze coins issued under her son Claudius can be very impressive examples of Roman portraiture. However some are clearly not from the mint of Rome, but the produce of auxiliary mints. Note also that Antonia's issues in gold and silver are cruder than those in bronze. Antonia's portrait is characterized by a relatively simple hairstyle and her ear is fully visible. This is in contrast to Agrippina senior, who has a much more elaborate hairstyle and her ear is never visible (see sestertius lot 1059 in this catalogue). AMP.
