Ephesus OTD
« on: July 17, 2018, 07:35:18 pm »
This came in a decent provincial lot IDed as a potential unlisted Nero/Poppea, but it actually is

Nero, with Statilia Messalina. AD 54-68. Æ . Ephesus (Ionia) mint. Struck AD 66. Laureate head of Nero right / Draped bust of Messalina right. RPC 2631.3 = SNG von Aulock 7864.  Extremely rare, three cited in RPC.
