This coin "plays" to the imagination. I immediately thought of Nero playing while Rome was burning. Nice coin @ro1974
This coin appears to be the following: RIC 416 Obv.: NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS Nero bare head, right. Rev.: PONTIF MAX TR POT IMP PP S - C left to right. (Apollo) Nero, laur., advancing r. in the flowing robes of Apollo Citharoedus, r. playing lyre held in left.
great coin, ro1974 beautifull patina , congrats. bought this Nero - Apollo as in September last year:
Not particularly, but the right combination of looks and price has just never come together for me. Not yet anyway!
you know, i'm looking at my 1st posted and the deity may very well be playing a lyre.. im not sure. i'll have to check and see
