Commentary
Les auteurs du RPC ont relevé vingt-cinq exemplaires avec un poids moyen de 3,05 g et une orientation des coins à 12 heures. Pour le Ier siècle, le monnayage serait très concentré entre 50/54 et 62/63 pour les Julio-Claudiens. Agrippine, mère de Néron et Poppée sa deuxième épouse sont associées à ce monnayage alors que sur les pièces de Néron seul, nous avons la double hache au revers.

Historical background
NERO
(13/10/54-9/06/68)
Caesar
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's 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 Claudius perpetrated by Agrippina with the help of Locuste in 54, he began his reign at the age of 17 under good auspices. Aided by Seneca, his tutor, and Burrus, prefect of the Praetorium, he governed intelligently with the Senate. He marries Octavie, daughter of Claudius and Messalina. Octavie's brother, Britannicus, dies under mysterious conditions in 55 BC (poisoned?). After the "quinquennum aureum" (54-59), the Emperor had or allowed his mother to be assassinated. The last nine years of the reign will destabilize the principate.
