CAPPADOCIA. Caesaraea-Eusebia. Nero, with Divus Claudius, 54-68. Didrachm (Silver, 21 mm, 7.20 g, 12 h), c. 63-65. NERO CLAVD D[IVI CLA]VD F CARSAR (sic) AVG GERMA Laureate head of Nero to right. Rev. DIVOS CLAVD VAGVST (sic) GERMANIC PATER AVG Laureate head of Claudius to right. RIC² 619-20 var., RPC I 3647 var., and Sydenham, Caesarea 66 var. (this type but with the spelling errors unnoted). A coin of unusually fine quality, very attractively toned and with very good portraits. Extremely fine.

Ex Triton XV, 3 January 2012, 1424.

The spelling errors that appear in the legends on both sides of this coin serve to remind us that the engravers in Caesaraea were primarily Greeks, some of whom had a shaky grasp of Latin spelling!.
