Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD) with Agrippa. AE As, Nemausus mint, c. 10-14 AD. RIC I (2nd ed.) 159; RPC I 525. AE. 13.16 g. 26.50 mm. A handsome example. Lovely enamel-like dark olive green patina. Light graffiti, as usual, otherwise. good VF. This coin type was originally minted to publicize Augustus' conferment of the colony named Colonia Augusta Nemausus, in southern Gaul, in 27 BC. This specific coin, however, is from a revival of the 'crocodile dupondius' two years after the death of Agrippa. It includes P P (Pater Patriae) on the obverse, a title Augustus only received in 2 BC, showing that it was a later issue.
(Ira & Larry Goldberg 81,2014,1553).
