The reverse legend mentions the treaty concluded between the Romans and Agrippa I whereby Claudi-
us guaranteed Agrippa’s kingdom, bestowing upon him the title of “Great King,” and granting his broth-
er, Herod, the territory of Chalcis in Lebanon. This was no doubt Claudius returning the favor for Agrippa’s in-
volvement in securing the support of the Roman Senate for his accession following the assassination of Caligula.
