Cf. RIC p. 261, note; BN 25; BMC 9; RSC 11. Outstanding portrait of Otho. Bold strike, and with a light violet tone. Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $3,000 - UP Otho, of Etrurian stock, had been one of the most reckless and miscreant nobles in Nero's court. In AD 58, Otho's wife, the beautiful Poppaea Sabina, began a secret affair with the emperor and soon divorced Otho. At her insistence, Nero sent Otho far away, making him governor of the remote province of Lusitania. He remained there as governor for the next ten years, and Suetonius records his rule there as one of well-administered moderation. In AD 68, Galba, the governor of the neighboring province of Hispania Tarraconensis, revolted against Nero, and Otho joined him in his march on Rome. Otho perhaps thought that by his support he would be named as successor by the aged and childless Galba if Galba were successful in overthrowing Nero, but in this he was to be disappointed. Once Galba had become emperor, he formerly adopted Lucius Calpurnius Piso Licinianus as his heir. With his hopes of peaceful succession now dashed, Otho boldly approached the Praetorian camp and bribed a few guardsmen, who were already aggrieved by Galba's refusal to pay the promised money for their support in his overthrow of Nero. They quickly found the emperor, who was making his way to the camp because of rumors of treachery, and brutally murdered him and Piso. They then declared for Otho, the Senate affirming the decision shortly afterward. Despite his reckless youth, Otho's short reign showed signs of equitable administration, emulating his former career in Lusitania. However, he never enjoyed the opportunity of fully establishing this benevolent rule for as soon as he was in power he faced the formidable revolt of Vitellius and the Rhine legions. While at first he showed remarkable energy in mustering an opposition to the revolt, after his forces were soundly defeated at the Battle of Bedriacum he committed suicide, preferring to spare his soldiers and the empire further bloodshed.

Extremely Rare and numismatically important. Dark reddish-brown patina. Choice Very Fine. Estimated Value $2,000 - UP The reverse type on this coin is both extremely interesting and numismatically important. The only military activity in which Rome was involved during this period was the civil wars between Nero, Vindex, Galba, Otho, and Vitellius in the western provinces, and the war conducted by Vespasian in Judaea. The reverse of a Roman coin would certainly never depict a captive Roman seated beneath a trophy. Thus, the reverse here must refer to the Roman successes during the Jewish War of AD 66-70/3.
