SELEUCIS and PIERIA, Antioch(?). Nero, with Divus Claudius. AD 54-68. AR Tetradrachm (24.5mm, 14.95 g, 12h). Struck circa AD 63-68.

VF, toned, minor porosity.

From the Michel Prieur Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Group XXVII (29 September 1993), lot 1284.

Often attributed to Caesarea in Cappadocia (Sydenham 64-5), this type (and its variants) are now attributed to Seleucis and Pieria based on find spots, but the exact mint remains unclear.
