    I posted this coin last week in my Antioch collection poster but I’d like to hi-light it and show it off again by itself. It has become one of my favorite non-Judaean coins although my Vespasian from Antioch is a close second-place.

    Here is another Nero tet from my collection :D. Deacon Ray, I think you've got the wrong Ceasarean date listed in your description :eek:, it should be 112, not 123. AD 63/64.

    Thanks for the advice, @Al Kowsky ! I had another correction also. My AR Vespasian was listed as an Æ. Also, your Nero tetradrachm is beautiful!

    Thank you. Been working on it for the past year and a half. My goal is for it to be the easiest and quickest way for anyone to identify a coin. Come a long way but still a LOT more work to do.
