Description This piece was minted for Roman Egypt circa 64-56 AD, during the reign of Nero, who ruled from 54-61 AD. Nero succeeded to the throne following the death of Claudius, who was poisoned by Nero's mother, Agrippina Senior. At first, the reign showed some promise, as the government was in the capable hands of Seneca and Burrus. However, the young emperor soon decided to free himself from all restraints, and following the death of burrus and retirement of Seneca, Nero's conduct became unbridled. He was very enthusiastic about art and sport, but his extravagances and vanity made him very unpopular, and it was even rumoured that he started the great fire that destroyed half of Rome in 64 AD. Finally, in 68 AD, revolts broke out in Gaul, Spain, and Africa, the Praetorians deserted Nero, and he fled and committed suicide. The obverse of this type depicts the radiate bust of Nero facing right, with Greek legends for NERO.KLAV.KAIS.SEB.GER.AV. The reverse type features an eagle standing left, palm in background, with regnal year LIA at left, and a simpulum at right. The Greek legend for AVTOKRA appears around. Coin shows lightly granular surfaces, as is often seen with Egyptian provincial issues, but otherwise grades Near VF, with clear to bold devices and legends where struck up, and a nice portrait. Much nicer in hand than in the scan! A pleasing example of the type, catalogued as Milne 237. All coins guaranteed genuine without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales tax. PLEASE NOTE: We're sorry, but we are no longer able to accept credit cards.
