| Lot description: LYDIA. Thyatira. Nero with Agrippina II (54-68). Ae. Obv: NЄPΩN KΛAVΔIOC KAICAP CЄBACTOC. Bare head of Nero right. Rev: ΑΓΡΙΠΠΙΝΑΝ / CЄΒΑCΤΗΝ ΘVΑΤΙΡΗΝΟΙ. Draped bust of Agrippina right. RPC I - (though cf. to 2380 for a similar type with Claudius on the obv.); RPC I Supp. -; Asia Minor Coins online -; apparently unpublished. Clearly conveying a more youthful portrait and an obverse legend which begins 'NЄPΩN' rather than 'TI,' this example appears to be an unpublished type paralleling the issue of Claudius and Agrippina II (RPC I 2380), likely issue shortly after Nero's accession. It is also similar to a parallel issue with a more adult Nero, laureate, with Poppaea on the reverse (RPC I 2383). Extremely rare and highly interesting. Condition: Very fine. Weight: 4.19 g. Diameter: 18 mm. Estimate: 50 EUR |  |
