[QUOTE="Carl Wilmont, post: 4881922, member: 75496"][USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER]: "[USER=75496]@Carl Wilmont[/USER], is yours a IVPPITER CVSTOS as well? It looks a lot like mine." Yes, [USER=110350]@DonnaML[/USER], it is the same type, issued in 66/67 AD to commemorate what Nero believed was the protection of Jupiter the Guardian (Custos) from an overthrow attempt the previous year (The Pisonian Conspiracy). The discontent continued; however, and, in 68 AD, after fleeing Rome following another revolt, Nero would become the first emperor to commit suicide. Here's an earlier Nero portrait coin issued by Agrippa II to observe his re-founding of Caesarea Paneas as "Neronias" in 61 AD. [IMG]https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/agrippa-ii-nero-jpg.1099903/[/IMG] Agrippa II (49/50-94/95 AD), under Nero (54-68 AD). AE (Bronze, 23.4 mm, 14.21 g). [I]Obverse[/I]: Laureate head of Nero right. [I]Reverse[/I]: EΠI/BACIΛE/AΓPIΠΠ/NEPΩ/NIE (in the time of King Agrippa in Neronias) in five lines within wreath. RPC 4988; Meshorer 129; Hendin 1273; TJC 129; RPC 4988.[/QUOTE]
