Commentary
On déplore, pour analyser ce type, le centrage médiocre quasi systématique de tous les exemplaires connus, dans un sens ou un autre. Sur certains, on repère nettement un globule sous le buste, sur d’autres un globule à six heures dans le grènetis du revers, sur tous, heureusement, un point dans le champ du revers et un style exceptionnel pour le portrait du droit.
Outre sa qualité, celui-ci nous rappelle le visage bien connu du Néron des deniers et sesterces de l’atelier de Rome, dans la plénitude de ses formes.
Les trois dernières années de frappe pour Néron à Antioche ont certainement produit les plus grands modules de portraits de qualité exceptionnelle sur argent de toute la numismatique romaine.
Dans la base TSP maintenue par Michel Prieur, cent quarante-deux exemplaires sont maintenant répertoriés.
When analyzing this type, we deplore the almost systematic poor centering of all known examples, in one direction or another. On some, we clearly see a globule under the bust, on others a globule at six o'clock in the beading of the reverse, on all, fortunately, a dot in the field of the reverse and an exceptional style for the portrait on the obverse. In addition to its quality, this one reminds us of the well-known face of Nero from the denarii and sesterces of the Rome mint, in the fullness of its forms. The last three years of striking for Nero in Antioch certainly produced the largest modules of portraits of exceptional quality on silver in all of Roman numismatics. In the TSP database maintained by Michel Prieur, one hundred and forty-two examples are now listed.

Historical background
NERO
(13/10/54-9/06/68)
Augustus
Nero is certainly one of the best-known emperors, thanks to Tacitus and Suetonius, but also one of the most decried. He is the last representative of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. Son of Agrippina, Claudius' second wife, and Cneius Domitius Ahenobarbus, he was born in 37. He descends from both Augustus through his mother and Julie through his maternal grandfather, Germanicus. After the assassination of Claude by Agrippina with the help of Locuste in 54, aged 17, he began his reign under good auspices. Aided by Seneca, his tutor, and Burrus, prefect of the Praetorium, he governed intelligently with the Senate. He married Octavie, daughter of Claudius and Messalina. Octavie's brother, Britannicus, dies under mysterious conditions in AD 55 (poisoned?). After the "quinquennum aureum" (54-59), the emperor had or allowed his mother to be murdered. The last nine years of the reign will destabilize the principate.
