Commentary
Le portrait de cet exemplaire est tardif, proche des deniers habituels de l’atelier de Rome, et fait la continuité avec les exemplaires de l’an 112 sur le plan du style. Le passage du portrait à droite au portrait à gauche est-il purement motivé pour des raisons esthétiques ou permettait-il un tri des espèces ? On constate en effet que l’aigle change lui aussi de direction. Les sigma sont traités en C.

The portrait of this example is late, close to the usual deniers of the Roman workshop, and is in continuity with the examples of the year 112 in terms of style. Is the change from the portrait on the right to the portrait on the left purely motivated by aesthetic reasons or did it allow for a sorting of the species? We can indeed see that the eagle also changes direction. The sigmas are treated in C. In the TSP database maintained by Michel Prieur, forty-four 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.
