  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ionia, Smyrna. 'Britannicus'. Died 55 AD. Æ 17mm (3.81   Click for Larger Image
gm). Bare head of Britannicus(?) right / Nike flying
right, holding trophy over her left shoulder. RPC 2476;  [Image]
Klose XXXI; Lindgren & Kovacs 562. VF, black patina with
small red spots of encrustation. Estimate $250.

History: The authors of RPC dispute Klose's identification of the head on this
coin as Britannicus and instead identify it as Nero. Without an inscription,
either is possible.
