Description
PAMPHYLIA. Attalia. Nero, as Caesar. 50-54 AD. Æ 18mm (4.66 g). Bare head right; G behind / Helmeted head of Athena right. RPC I 3367; BMC Lycia pg. 112, 14. Fine, grayish-green patina with some earthen highlights. Very rare.
RPC only records two specimens for this issue. As the portrait on the obverse is not identified, the authors of RPC leave open the possibility that this could represent a later emperor, perhaps Domitian or Trajan. This cataloguer thinks the portrait looks more like a young Nero than either of the other two.
