CAPPADOCIA. Caesaraea-Eusebia. Nero, with Agrippina Junior, 54-68. 12 Asses (Silver, 17 mm, 2.65 g, 1 h), circa 58-59. NERO CLAVD DIVI CLAVD F CAESAR AVG GERMANI• Laureate head of Nero to right. Rev. Draped bust of Agrippina Junior to right; in field to left, AC•/IT•; in field to right, IB (mark of value); all within wreath of laurel and grain ears. Ganschow 56. RIC 612. RPC I 3643. Sydenham, Caesarea, 79. Extremely rare and of great numismatic interest. Somewhat rough and with light scratches and minor traces of corrosion, otherwise, good very fine.

This type is of particular interest not only for its beautifully executed reverse, which shows the bust of Agrippina enclosed within a twisted wreath of laurel and grain ears, but also for its reverse legend: AC / IT – IB. This inscription indicates a denomination - specifically, 12 Italian asses. The coin thus represents a value of 12 asses, which aligns well with its weight, being lighter than a Roman denarius, valued at 16 asses.
