            Drusus As, beautiful example

            Drusus, son of Tiberius and Vipsania, AD 23. A bronze As,
            issued under Tiberius, attributed as RIC 45, Sear 588.

            Obverse: Bare head of Drusus left. Legend is DRVSVS CAESAR TI
            AVG F DIVI AVG N.

            Reverse: The legend PONTIF TRIBVN POTEST ITER around SC.

            History: DRVSVS was born in 14 BC to Tiberius and Vipsania
            Agrippina, whom Tiberius later divorced in favor of Augustus'
            daughter Julia. Drusus became a Caesar in 4 AD when his
            father was officially adopted by Augustus. After Tiberius'
            ascension in 14, Drusus was sent to quell a mutiny in
            Pannonia, and was rewarded with a consulship in 15. After
            military command in Illyricum from 17 to 20 he served a
            second consulship in 21. With the death of his adopted
            brother Germanicus in 19 AD, Drusus became the heir apparent,
            but was poisoned by his wife Livilla at the urging of the
            Praetorian Praefect Sejanus in 23.

  [Image]   Condition: The coin is in aVF/VF+ condition with a beautiful
            light brown patina. The reverse is especially nice, being
            perfectly centered and stronger than seen in the photo.

I'm sorry, the patina is not light brown (the photo is misleading, but
that's the way it came out). The patina is a darker greenish/brown. It's
not quite as attractive as it looks in the photo, colorwise. If it was I
don't think I could bear to part with it.
