GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 12/01/2014 2:49 pm Here is another Nero, this one a sestertius depicting a Triumphal arch - the Arcus Neroni. This monumental arch was erected by Nero to commemorate Roman military campaigns against the Parthians in Mesopotamia and Armenia and was erected between AD 58 and 62. The arch was dismantled after Nero was deposed in 68 and is only known through its depiction on the coins. This is a type I looked for long to add to my collection- this sestertius shows reasonable detail, even if somewhat rough surfaces. At least it did not break the bank. Report this Post to the Staff

I would expect to pay dearly for this. Under a 'millennium' would probably be a 'buy'. That would break my bank ! Report this Post to the Staff
