VIDEO: THE STORY OF NERO THROUGH HIS COINS

The latest addition to the Newman Numismatic Portal is a new educational video by Lianna Spurrier. Project Coordinator Len Augsburger provided the following report. The coin illustrated is RIC Nero 46. -Editor

Lianna Spurrier is back at it again, with a video entitled “The Story of Nero Through His Coins.” Nero is remembered as a bloodthirsty, ruthless, and immoral ruler. But was he really that bad? His coins indicate there is more to the story than the stereotypical narrative. While there is good reason for his barbaric reputation, Nero was surprisingly interested in the arts and the enrichment of cultural life. Ms. Spurrier digs in further in this well-produced video.
