This photo was sent to me by Karl and is a wonderful portrait of I believe Nero as a youth, although the togatus corpus is from a later period. I have never seen this portrait before and thought it was well worth adding to the group. See more here: www.flickr.com/groups/348069@N25/discuss/72157631634535317/

Roman Britain, 1st century AD
Found at the River Alde at Rendham, near Saxmundham, Suffolk
The Conqueror of Britain
This head, found in 1907, formed part of a life-size bronze statue of the Roman emperor Claudius (reigned AD 41-54). The conquest of Britain provided a military triumph for Claudius. He had no existing reputation as a leader, but was perceived as a retiring, scholarly person. Life-size and larger imperial statues were placed in important public and official spaces, and it is conceivable that the statue might originally have occupied such a space in the colonia (settlement) at Colchester.
It has been suggested that the removal of the head, and presumably the destruction of the body of the statue, might have taken place during the rebellion of the British tribal leader Boudica (in AD 61). This can be no more than a theory; there is no certain evidence even linking the statue with Colchester.

Mint operations in Spain were clearly defined under the legate P. Carisius in 25-20 BC. The colony of Emerita was founded in 25 BC and the legatus Augusti, P. Carisius, received the charge of maintaining the military operations in western Spain. Scholars have accepted the contention that Carisius established a mint there to finance his activities. cngcoins.com

Description
Gaius, more commonly known by his ancient nickname Caligula (Little Boots), was the first emperor to be assassinated. His uncle and successor, Claudius, had his statues and portraits removed from public view. Many were reworked as portraits of Augustus or of Claudius. It also seems that smaller, personal images of Caligula were deliberately thrown away after his murder; several have been recovered from the River Tiber in Rome.
