<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numisnewbiest, post: 4201918, member: 99613&quot;]It&#039;s Nero, but not a sestertius. Just a cheap copper coin that for the life of me I can&#039;t find the attribution for, but I have it here somewhere. It&#039;s the only ancient coin I have, because I thought I wouldn&#039;t have to explain to any visitors who Nero was - everyone&#039;s heard of him. I don&#039;t even particularly want it (I hate Nero), and I really should save up and get a nicer coin and just decide to explain the emperor if I have to, but this is what I have for now.</p><p><br /></p><p>(EDIT: I found the attribution)</p><p><br /></p><p>Nero AE As, Lyons mint. 66 AD.
