| Beschrijving voorzijde | Jugate draped busts of the Emperor Nero and Agrippina II facing right, the imperial effigies rendered in the provincial Greek style typical of Carian civic coinage. Nero appears in the foreground, bareheaded, with Agrippina II positioned behind him, both draped. The Greek legend ΝΕΡΩΝ ϹΕΒΑϹΤΟϹ ('Nero Augustus') is partially visible in the field, heavily worn on this example. The flan is irregularly shaped, characteristic of locally produced provincial bronze issues of the mid-first century AD. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Orthosia was a minor Carian coastal settlement whose civic coinage output was sporadic at best, largely dependent on favorable moments in its relationship with the Roman provincial administration at Alabanda. The Conventus of Alabanda grouped several such small communities for judicial and administrative purposes, and the right to strike local bronze — essentially fractional currency for market use — was not automatic. That Orthosia issued under Nero at all suggests a deliberate civic assertion during the early, relatively stable years of his reign, before the political climate deteriorated sharply after 59.
