Æ21 - Nero ΕΠΙ (ΕΛ) ΚΛΕΟΝ (ΚΟΥ)

Chalcis in Euboea was a minor provincial center, and its civic bronze issues under Nero are poorly documented — the magistrate names preserved in the inscription (likely a local archon or duovir) represent almost the only administrative record we have of the city's governance during this period. These small bronzes circulated locally and rarely traveled far, which explains why surviving examples tend to show heavy oxidation consistent with prolonged burial in Euboean soil rather than wear from active exchange.
