About very fine, red-brown patina, some roughness on reverse £90-£120 --- Provenance: Bt Seaby 1972 Traditionally, this countermark has been attributed to Nero, with its assumed that the letters NCARP represents an abbreviation of Nero Caesar Augustus Populo Romano (see RIC p.11). However, the presence of a coin of Vespasian carrying this same countermark in the Pangerl collection renders this attribution problematic.

Hall Collection (Part II), Glendining Auction, 16-21 November 1950, lot 1077; Bt Spink The Decursio was a military exercise and exhibition of equestrian skills instituted by Nero for the prætorian guard. Some coins show the horseman being led by a foot-soldier – a depiction hardly suitable for the portrayal of an emperor. The countermark on this coin, which is very seldom found, was applied under Vitellius. The reason for its application is unclear, but it might reflect an attempt by Vitellius to promote his role in donative payments made to troops using existing specie.
