Notes

  • Note: Approximate date range given based on the appearance of Agrippina alongside Nero on official coinage. Rostovtzeff suggested the legend might be understood as Nero [C]ae[sar] - Ag[rippina] Aug(usta). The only recorded specimen of this token is Rostovtzeff and Prou 31d - the piece is now worn and broken into two pieces.
