Lydia, Sardeis. 54-68 AD (time of Nero). AE 15mm - Ti. Cl. Mnaseas & Poppaea as Nike

Lydia, Sardeis.  Quasi-autonomous, 54-68 AD (time of Nero). AE 15mm (2.85g), struck under magistrate Ti. Cl. Mnaseas. EΠI TI MNACEOV CAPΔIANΩN, bearded head of Herakles right, wearing lion-skin on shoulders / CE-BACTH, winged Nike flying left, holding palm branch in left arm and wreath in extended right hand.

RPC 3010; AsiaMinorCoins.com Coin ID #5921. 

Good VF, nicer than pic, obv. legend fully readable.

The legend CEBASTH (lat. Augusta) may suggest that Poppaea is depicted here as Nike. There is a similar coin from Smyrna with the legend NEIKH ΠOΠΠAIA SMYR where this connection is explicit.
