An absolutely superb copper As of Nero, with a beautiful dark patina and excellent original surfaces. The level of detail is amazing: the S P Q R standing out boldly on the shield; delicate details of the drapery on Victory's dress; and the feathers on her wings are all clearly visible. A near-perfect example.
