        OTHO, JAN-APR 69. AR DENARIUS.Almost EF. RARE.(3 gm). Marcus
       Salvius Otho was born in A.D. 32. He was a friend of Nero who
       fell in love with his wife Poppaea Sabina. Nero therefore sent
      him to Lusitania as governor. On Nero's death he supported Galba
      and hoped to be his successor. Galba, however, adopted L. Piso,
     whereupon Otho revolted and was hailed emperor on 15th Jan. 69 on
       the assassination of Galba. The legions on the Rhine, however,
     chose Vitellius, who marched to Italy. Otho's army was beaten and
       he committed suicide on the 16th of April. Obverse: Bare head
      right. IMP.OTHO.CAESAR.AVG.TR.P. Reverse: PONT. MAX. Ceres stg.
       l., holding two corn ears and cornucopiae. B.M.C. 9; R.I.C. 6.
       Coin is better than the picture. A very accomplished realistic
        portrait and a famous rarity. All items are guaranteed to be
      genuine and as described. FOR TERMS OF SALE, PAYMENT METHODS AND
                          SHIPPING RATES, PLEASE,
