Nero AR Denarius, NERO CLAVD CAES DRVSVS GERM PRINV IVVENT; draped bust left. / SACERDOT COOPT IN OMNI CONL SVPRA NVM EX S C; priestly instruments. RIC 77. Rare, young bust of Nero Nathan www.RomanCoinAuctions.com
I've seen these before and would love some day to acquire one. It's hard to reconcile the older "obese" Nero with the young "normal stature" Nero. But that kind of thing happens.
Ya gotta love the "left facing" busts, eh? (kinda like watching a left-handed pitcher ... it always seems a bit "off")
