<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 3389309, member: 87809&quot;]This one with the colossal equestrian statue of Agrippa, raised after his untimely death. Issued in a large number for his funeral to help the donative he bequeathed to every Roman citizen. The coin clearly shows the &quot;spolia opima&quot;, won by the ancestor of the mint master Cossus Cornelius Lentulus in a show of personal advertisement entirely unrelated to Agrippa.</p><p><br /></p><p>19 mm, 3.61g;</p><p>Rome, 12 BC, Cossus Cornelius Lentulus, moneyer</p><p>Ref.: RIC 412</p><p>Obv.: AVGVSTVS Bare head to r.</p><p>Rev.: COSSVS CN F LENTVLVS, equestrian statue of Agrippa to right, helmeted and bearing trophy (spolia opima) over left shoulder, on pedestal ornamented with two prows</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]900464[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]900468[/ATTACH]</p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
