[QUOTE="Whizb4ng, post: 1966719, member: 54140"]If I remember correctly there have been a couple hoards found with primarily Nero tetradrachms. It was attributed to the civil unrest after his death. I wouldn't want to be caught with a bunch of Nero tetradrachms when Vespasian was coming to Egypt to secure the grain supply. I think I have three Nero tetradrachms now but I can't remember. I will post my favourite though. Nero AR Billon Tetradrachm, Alexandria. Year 13 = 66/67 AD. Obverse: NERW KLAU KAIS SEB GER, radiate bust right wearing aegis Reverse :AVTOKPA, helmeted & cuirassed bust of Roma right, LIG to right. Someone didn't like Nero since his eyes have been deliberately punched out [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/RRn9wbZ.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/H7rGuV5.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
