Name

M. Vettius Niger

The name appears in Greek on coins of Apamea/Phrygia between c. AD 56 and 58.

It is uncertain if the name belongs to a civic magistrate under Nero or instead identifies a Roman proconsul.

Lit.: RPC I p. 506 nos. 3137-3138 (during Nero's reign, with additional references); W. Leschhorn, Lexikon der Aufschriften auf griechischen Münzen II (2009) pp. 709, 735 (AD 56-58); G. R.
