After a hiatus, I am back buying coins. I’ve sold a domain name and got some hours logged doing some QA, so among other things, I bought this Nero:

Like having one of the 30 pieces of silver of Judas, this was sort of a perversely must-have. This is the emperor whose name (NERO CAESAR) added up to 666, and thus gave us the number of the Beast. Supposedly, he was such a frightful figure that people expected him to come back from the dead after he committed suicide.
