<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bing, post: 2472849, member: 44132&quot;]The <b>Great Fire of Rome</b> was an urban fire that started on the night between 18 and 19 July in the year 64 AD. It caused widespread devastation, before being brought under control after six days. Differing accounts either blame Emperor Nero for initiating the fire or credit him with organizing measures to contain it and provide relief for refugees. In response to the accusations that he was responsible for the fire, Nero blamed the devastation on the Christian community in the city, initiating the empire&#039;s first persecution of the Christians.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]520534[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]520535[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in honor of this auspicious anniversary, post your Nero coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]520530[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>NERO</b></p><p>AR Drachm</p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; NERO CLAVD DIVI CLAVD F CAESAR AVG GERM, laureate head of Nero right.</p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; DIVOS CLAVD AVGVST GERMANIC PATER AVG, Claudius&#039; laureate head right</p><p>Struck at Caesarea, Cappodocia, 63/4AD</p><p>3.6g, 17mm</p><p>RIC 621, RSC 3, RPC 3648</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]520531[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>NERO</b></p><p>AE As</p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; NERO CAESAR AVG GERM IMP - Laureate head right</p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; No legend - Victory advancing left, holding shield</p><p>Struck at Rome, 65AD</p><p>8.5g, 26mm</p><p>RIC 312, BMC 241, S 1976</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]520532[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>NERO</b></p><p>AR Denarius</p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; NERO CAESAR AVGVSTVS - Laureate head right</p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; No legend Exe: SALVS - Salus seated left, holding patera</p><p>Struck at Rome, 65/6AD</p><p>2.9g, 18mm</p><p>RIC 60, BMC 90, C 314</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]520533[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>NERO</b></p><p>AR Billon Tetradrachm</p><p>OBVERSE:&nbsp; NERW KLAV KAIS SEB GER, radiate bust right, wearing aegis</p><p>REVERSE:&nbsp; AVTOKPA, draped bust of Alexandria right in elephant skin headdress, LIB to right, year 12</p><p>Struck at Alexandria, Egypt, 65/6AD</p><p>10.8g, 28mm</p><p>Köln 172-174; Curtis 36-54, Dattari 204, SGI 633, RPC 5289.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
