Laureate bust of Nero right wearing aegis on obverse; eagle standing right on thunderbolt with wings displayed, palm frond to right on reverse

Nero, the last of the Julio-Claudian emperors, ruled from AD 54 to 68 and from early in his reign struck a substantial provincial coinage at Antioch in Syria.

The eagle on thunderbolt was the standard reverse type for Antiochene tetradrachms, drawing on the iconography of Zeus and signaling the city's role as the principal mint of Roman Syria.

Reverse legend: ETOYΣ AIP • Θ, "Year 111, 9," giving the date by both the Caesarean Era of Antioch (year 111 = AD 62/3) and Nero's regnal year (year 9).

Lightly toned with minor marks and scratches.
