Agrippa and Augustus as These two coins are really fun for me. As someone with a love for ancient war having Agrippa on a coin is amazing. Granted these coins were minted 50 years apart but I think having a guy like Agrippa on coin is amazing to say the least.
Here they are on one coin. Repaired but still nice Augustus & Agrippa by C. Sulpicius Platorinus CAESAR AVGVSTVS bare head right C SVLPICIVS PLATORIN Augustus and Agrippa, both togate, seated half l. on bisellium set on platform ornamented with rostra. On l., staff upright. 3.72g Rome 13 BC RSC 529, RIC 407, Sear 1599 Ex-ANE,
LOVE the coins and LOVE that they are giving us a true Sam and Frodo moment. Looking longingly at each other. #bromance View attachment 1050065 In a recent thread about the type I pushed this oldy but goody. But on it they are facing apart:
