    Description

    Ancient
    Nero, 54-68 AD, Ae As, Victory, struck c. 65 AD.IMP NERO CAESAR AVG P MAX TR PPP, Bare head of Nero right, globe at point of neck. Victory draped, advancing left, holding in both hands shield inscribed SPQR; S-C in left and right fields.Possibly the most infamous of the Roman Emperors, Nero ruled Rome from 54 AD until his death by his own hand in 68 AD. From murdering his mother and other political opponents to (according to rumour) starting the great fires of Rome, the stories about his reign paint a picture of a tyrannical and impulsive Emperor that the people of Rome were glad to see gone. Victoria (Victory) on the reverse of this coin is the personification of the goddess of victory.                                                                           All item post with register letter next day except weekend.
