Notes:     The dated coinage of Agrippa struck under the Flavians is believed to be based on an era beginning in 61 CE (see Meshorer, pp. 106-7, and D. Barag, "The Palestinian Judaea Capta Coins of Vespasian and Titus and the Era of the Coins of Agrippa II Minted under the Flavians," NumChron 1978, pp. 14-23). While the date appears to be certain, the significance of it remains obscure.
