I feel I have to share my Nero sestertius. Minted in Lyon 62-68 (RIC I 442). I like the portrait, even though Nero does not look completely healthy.

Oh! Look at that! *face-wash* Beauuutiful specimen, erafjel. Looks as large and weighty as Nero's ego! Very clearly the artist leaned in the direction of caricature for this portrait of the emperor. Really accentuating the largeness of his head in relation to his other features. Making a sly commentary perhaps? I mean, how does one say "The emperor has a big head"...without losing your own?
