| Lot number: 216 | |
| Lot description: Roman Imperial Nero. AD 54-68. Æ Sestertius (33mm, 23.47 g). Uncertain Balkan mint, possibly Perinthus in Thrace. Struck circa AD 63(?). Laureate bust right, wearing aegis(?) / Nero on horseback prancing right; soldier before and behind. Cf. RIC I 107. Fine, surfaces rough. Centering mark. The use of the centering pivot mark, and general details of fabric and metal suggest an attribution to the uncertain Balkan mint. The minting of imperial type bronzes in the Balkans was much more extensive than previously known. Estimate: $100 |  |
