[QUOTE="Windchild, post: 1701610, member: 44189"]My first of the Twelve Caesars! Nero (ruled 54-68 AD) AE Sestertius [URL="http://www.cointalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=259656&d=1367526672[img"][IMG]http://www.cointalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=259656&d=1367526672[/IMG][/URL] Struck 65 AD NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER P M TR P IMP P P Laureate bust right. S - C in Field, ROMA in exergue Roma with parazonium and victory, seated left. 34 mm, 26.53 g Extra: No Tooling or Smoothing, much better surfaces in hand I believe it is: Lugdunum Mint (Modern Lyon) RIC 398 or Roma Mint (Modern Rome) RIC 273 This coin is the start of a collection of one coin per ruler, from Julius Caesar to Commodus.. Historical Notes! (You're welcome Steve ;)) The reign of Emperor Nero.... Friend of the Commoners (who loved him) and Enemy of the Senators (who hated him) Specifically, 65 AD... The Year of the Consulship of Nerva and Vestinus. Rome was rebuilding after a massive fire in 64 AD, during which Nero was rumored to 'fiddle while Rome burned' (inaccurate) This year, Nero kills his pregnant wife, Poppea Sabina, with a kick to the stomach. Also, after a stage performance in which he appears and shocks the senatorial class considerably, Nero engaged in a series of reprisals against Seneca, Tigellinus, pro-republican senators, and anyone else he distrusts. Thanks! (You know who you are ;)... You can say if they want to)[/QUOTE]
