EF Nero Claudius Drusus, Æ sestertius, (25.90g) struck under his son Claudius, TI CLAVDIVS CAESAR AVG IMP TR P P P Laureate head right. / NERO CLAVDIVS DR[V]SVS GERMAN IMP Arch, topped by equestrian statue of Nero Claudius Drusus and trophies made up of captured German arms, S C at sides. RIC(Claudius)114; Vagi 493. Choice EF, delicate dark green patina, with a most expressive portrait, a bit weak on the upper reverse legend, several striking cracks at edge, well-struck from very good style metropolitan dies, well-centered, on an immense 38mm flan. This coin is better than the Triton VI example, despite the flan splits. Untooled and original. Very rare this nice! Nero Claudius Drusus was the brother of Tiberius, and an important general. He died from injuries sustained in a horse-riding accident. Considering his elder brother Tiberius became emperor, this unfortunate man would have played an important role in Roman politics almost half a century after his accidental death. One might even suspect that he would have succeed Tiberius in A.D. 37 to become the 3rd Caesar. CLICK HERE TO E-MAIL US before you bid, if you have a question about this item.
