                               Nero as Caesar

    50-54 A.D. Aureus. Bare headed and draped young bust ;.; NERO CLAVD.
         CAES. DRVSVS GERM. PRINC. IIVENT. Rv. Simpulum/tripod and
    lituus/patera; SACERD. COOPT. IN OMN CONL. SVPRA NVM. EX S.C. (7.60

     The above coin reverse alludes to the fact that in 51 AD. Nero was
    admitted to four prietly colleges: The Pontifices, THe Augures, The
    Quindecimviri Sacris Faciundis (keepers of the Sibylline books) and
   the Epulones (who supervised religious banquets.) These colleges were
         symbolized by the simpulum, lituus, tripod, and the patera
   respectively. The possesion of these and other offices clearly marked
       Nero as the hier to the throne and it is clear evidence of the
            relentless ambitions of Agrippina for her son Nero.

                    From the collection of Mariam Sinton
