Marcus Agrippa was Octavian’s boyhood friend, lieutenant, and eventual chosen heir, adopted by Augustus in 17 BC to ensure a smooth succession. Agrippa's prominence in political affairs was emphasized in 13 BC, when two of the three moneyers included Agrippa on their coin types. Succession was not to be, however, as Agrippa died the following year.

This coin commemorates the subjugation of Egypt after the Battle of Actium.
