Description
Nero. AD 54-68. AE Sestertius (32.24 g, 1h). Uncertain Thracian mint.
Laureate head right / DECVRSIO, Nero on horseback riding right, holding spear; behind him, soldier on horseback right, holding vexillum. RIC I 172 var. (wearing aegis); WCN 89 var. (same); CNR XVIII 840 var. (no S C on reverse). Good VF, green patina, a spot of corrosion.
The decursio was a military training exercise which acquired ceremonial pageantry. The decursio Troiae was an equestrian event and may have been connected to the earlier Republican transvectio equitum, a ceremony Augustus reinstituted. A similar decursio appears on the base of the Column of Antoninus Pius.
Estimate: $2500
