As - Nero Perinthos

Perinthus, the dominant port city on the northern shore of the Propontis, maintained active civic coinage under Nero during the years when the emperor was consolidating influence in the eastern provinces following Claudius's death. RPC I 1751 is among the bronzes attributed to this Thracian city's output in the early Neronian period, before the administrative reorganization that would later affect provincial mint activity in the region. The city's strategic position on the Via Egnatia gave it outsized commercial weight relative to its political status.
