[QUOTE="Nemo, post: 2106554, member: 58462"]The obverse reads NЄPWNOC (Nero) in three lines within a wreath, the reverse is a palm branch surrounded by the date LE (Year 5) KAICAPOC (Caesar) Festus was a governor of the Roman province of Judea after the recall of Antonius Felix to Rome. The year of this change in governors is not definitely known; the only sources of information are the Bible (Acts 25, 26) and Josephus, and neither sheds light on the appointment by Nero. None of the coins of the governors have their names or likeness, only the names of the emperors or their family members.[/QUOTE]
