Augustus, with Agrippa. 27 BC-AD 14. Æ As Struck circa 9/8-3 BC. Heads of Agrippa and Augustus back to back, that of Agrippa wearing combined rostral crown and laurel wreath, that of Augustus wearing oak wreath; IMP above, DIVI F below / COL NEM, crocodile right chained to palm branch with short fronds; wreath with long ties above, palms branches below.
