<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2703591, member: 19463&quot;]I like these double dated Neros.&nbsp; In case some reading this thread missed that, ETOYS means &#039;year&#039; and&nbsp; AIP is the Greek numeral for 111 so the coin is dated in year 111 of the Caesarean era.&nbsp; The theta is Greek for 9 indicating year 9 of Nero&#039;s reign.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bing&#039;s coin adds one to both numbers BIP=112 and I=10.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Mine below is older with theta rho (109) Caesarean and Z (7) Nero regnal but omitted the word for year.&nbsp; Since mat posted a 110/8 we have a string going here from 7 to 10.&nbsp; I&#039;d have to research what exists.&nbsp; Also the common denarii we see are from the later period when Nero was fatter.&nbsp; His early denarii had better silver and were melted down more when the debasement began so we are left with more fat faced portraits from Rome.&nbsp; I believe most of you wold agree that each of our 7-10 series shows a reasonable decline from not bad looking to not so hot. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]608854[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
