NERO CLAVD DIVI CLAVD F CAES[AR AVG GER], laureate head of Nero right; star in left field / DIVOS CLAVD AVG GERMANIC PATER AVG, laureate head of Claudius right.

From the Michel Prieur Collection. Ex Malter XXXIII (14 June 1986), lot C279.
An unusual Latin legend issue that is frequently attributed to Antioch but which does not quite fit into the Antiochene sequence under Nero. RPC does not specify a mint, but rejects traditional attributions to either Antioch or Caesarea in Cappadocia, tentatively suggesting it could have been struck in Judaea.
