Commentary
Poids lourd. Les auteurs du Roman Provincial Coinage ont recensé quatorze exemplaires avec un poids moyen de 10,40 g. Ce monnayage semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente.
Heavyweight. The authors of the Roman Provincial Coinage recorded fourteen examples with an average weight of 10.40 g. This coinage appears to be much rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time we have offered it for sale.

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.
