An Agrippa I Coin Reattributed to Gaba

Abstract

A bronze coin previously believed to have been struck under Agrippa I is shown to more likely
be an issue of the ancient city of Gaba. Supporting this reattribution are a better understanding
of the Greek legend on the coin and a strong similarity between the tetrastyle temple shown on
it and another two coins found at Gaba, and attributed to that mint, from the time of Domitian,
by Kindler (1988). Furthermore, a considerably earlier date is suggested for the coin.
