Commentary
Poids léger. Bien que lauré, cette pièce est bien un dupondius. Revers historiquement très important pour la création du “macellum magnum”, achevé en 59. Type que nous présentons pour la deuxième fois à la vente avec le portrait à gauche et cet agencement au revers.
Lightweight. Although laureate, this coin is indeed a dupondius. Historically, this reverse is very important for the creation of the “macellum magnum,” completed in 59. This type is being offered for the second time at auction, with the portrait on the left and this arrangement on the reverse.

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.
