thanks moxking ,. Something about Nero I like- just the infamy of the man- the look at this fat insane monster-
The 2nd beast in the Book of Revelations was Emperor Nero

Yeah it's genuine (I hope). I had doubts because that one is faked a lot. But we scrutinized it here on this forum and I had someone I know look at it also.
BTW check out the thumbnails on wildwinds, he isn't always depicted as a chubby lunatic!

travel,I hope that one is genuine too. Something about the impressions into the metal and the nose are bothering me though. Might want to ask some of the experts on here for some advice on it just to make sure.
