RIC I 103 (Claudius); BMCRE pg. 195, note *; BN –; von Kaenel, “Britannicus, Agrippina Minor und Nero in Thrakien,” SNR 63 (1984), type A. Fine, brown patina, roughness. Rare.


Sestertii and dupondii in the name of Agrippina Junior have been found localized in the Balkan region and were most likely struck at a local mint servicing the legions guarding the border. The lack of reverse legends on both the sestertius and dupondius, specifically the S C, would be in keeping with a provincial issue not issued under the nominal authority of the Roman Senate.
