Note A specimen with ΠΟΠΠΑΙΑΣ ΣΕΒΑΣΤΗΣ on the rev., but this coin's authenticity is very doubtful. The coin looks cast and altered and the youthful portrait of Nero is hard to reconcile with a date of 62-5, as required by the presence of Poppaea. It is very different from the portrait one would expect at this date, as on BMC II
