It features Emperor Claudius and his &quot;black widow&quot; wife Agrippina the Younger. The story is she poisoned him with mushrooms so that she could make her darling son, Nero, emperor.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse features the goddess, Ephesian Diana, the goddess of fertility. Some say she had bull testicles instead of breasts. The high relief busts on the obverse of this coin resulted in a less than perfect strike on the reverse, which has robbed us of the opportunity to confirm exactly what Diana has on her body. Given what Agrippina did to her husband, she may also have had bull testicles.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
