What a fantastic year with such fabulous coins! Hope you have just as great a year in 2024!

I also did not realize there were two varieties of this coin. Mine appears to have the curved inscription. These coins may be common , but to me they are very handsome.

SNL makes fun of thinking about ancient Rome

Actually , more than think. The word "obsessed" comes to mind. -
These are some of my favorite Neros in several denominations.... 1. Dynastic issue under Claudius - aureus with Boscoreale toning... 2. Aureus of Nero as a boy, again under Claudius... 3. Aureus of the corpulent Nero that we've all come to love... 4. My favorite sestertius of Nero with DECVRSIO reverse... struck in Lugdunum (also my favorite) 5. Port of Ostia sestertius ( unfortunately I took this photo. This explains why all my photos are from the various dealers). 6. My favorite denarius... 7. Dupondius with Victory holding wreath... 7. Nice looking As with Victory holding globe inscribed SPQR... 8 . Dupondius with mesmerizing portrait and SECVRITAS reverse,.... 9. One more sestertius from mint of Rome with Nero addressing troops. Standing next to him is Praetorian prefect - likely Tigellinus...

Sperlonga (Latium): The Grotto of Tiberius
Octavius replied to Prieure de Sion's topic in Roman Empire
Beautiful photos brought back neat memories. I had great, great grandparents from Formia , down the road from Gaeta. I visited the area many years ago and it was breathtaking. I particularly remember what was thought to be Cicero's tomb near there. -
