<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 2958115, member: 56859&quot;]Interesting question.&nbsp; I&#039;d love to know the whys of coins design for so many emperors!</p><p><br /></p><p>On his Egyptian coins Nero is paired with several emperors and empresses:&nbsp; Augustus, Octavia, Tiberius, Aggripina, Poppaea.&nbsp; As for showing Augustus, Octavia, and Tiberius, perhaps he wanted to drive home his &quot;right&quot; to the throne as a member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, given the machinations Aggripina went through to get him there.&nbsp; Aggripina&#039;s appearance probably reflects her dominance in Nero&#039;s early life and early years as emperor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
