Nero, provincial coin from Antioch

Maybe similar to this: http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=127745

NO experience with this type but agree, looks a bit sketchy at first glance. More experienced heads will chime in shortly

Unfortunately this is a fake, made to look like a Nero Tetradrachm. We actually had a die match to this turn up last week.
