Commentary
Pour ce type les auteurs du Roman Provincial Coinage ont recensé trois exemplaire avec un poids moyen de 3,98g. Magistrat Tiberius Julius Proclos. Ce monnayage est postérieur à 63 et a peut-être été frappé au moment où l’empereur triomphait en Grèce à partir de 66. Cet exemplaire était mal décrit et attribué à Claudius Mithridates (RPC. 3210) alors qu’il s’agit bien de Tiberius Julius Proclos. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous proposons ce type à la vente.
For this type, the authors of the Roman Provincial Coinage have recorded three examples with an average weight of 3.98g. Magistrate Tiberius Julius Proclos. This coinage is later than 63 and may have been struck at the time when the emperor was triumphing in Greece from 66. This example was poorly described and attributed to Claudius Mithridates (RPC. 3210) when it is indeed Tiberius Julius Proclos. This type seems rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time that we offer this type for sale

Historical background
NERO
(13/10/54-9/06/68)
Caesar
Nero is certainly one of the best-known emperors, thanks to Tacitus and Suetonius, but also one of the most decried. He is the last representative of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Son of Agrippina, Claudius's second wife, and Cneius Domitius Ahenobarbus, he was born in 37. He descends from both Augustus through his mother and Julie through his maternal grandfather, Germanicus. After the assassination of Claudius perpetrated by Agrippina with the help of Locuste in 54, he began his reign at the age of 17 under good auspices. Aided by Seneca, his tutor, and Burrus, prefect of the Praetorium, he governed intelligently with the Senate. He marries Octavie, daughter of Claudius and Messalina. Octavie's brother, Britannicus, dies under mysterious conditions in 55 BC (poisoned?). After the "quinquennum aureum" (54-59), the Emperor had or allowed his mother to be assassinated. The last nine years of the reign will destabilize the principate.
