Nero. AD 54-68. AR Denarius (18.5mm, 3.36 g, 6h). Rome mint. Struck circa AD 67-68. Laureate head right / Aquila between two signa. RIC I 68; RSC 356. Lightly toned. Near VF. Rare type.

This type, among the last coins struck by the very unmilitary Nero, would seem to be an attempt to curry favor with the Roman legions of the provinces, which were beginning to rebel against his capricious rule. It did not work.
