Commentary


Le portrait de cet exemplaire est tardif, proche des deniers habituels de l’atelier de Rome, et est dans la continuité des exemplaires de l’an 112 sur le plan du style, toujours de grande qualité et typiquement hellénistique, loin des stéréotypes de l’atelier de Rome.
Curieusement, l’aigle n’est plus sur une massue, comme dans l’émission précédent (Prieur 91), ni sur un foudre, comme depuis le début des frappes à l’aigle, mais sur une couronne de laurier. Rappel d’une distinction reçue par la vile en cette année ? On remarque à ce propos que les aigles des frappes de ce millésime portent la couronne dans le bec, probablement une distinction accordée à la ville émettrice, contrairement aux aigles des premières frappes de Néron, sans couronne.
Les sigma sont traités en C. Dans la base TSP maintenue par Michel Prieur,cinquante deux exemplaires seulement sont maintenant répertoriés.
The portrait on this example is late, close to the usual denarii from the Roman mint, and is in line with the examples of the year 112 in terms of style, always of high quality and typically Hellenistic, far from the stereotypes of the Roman mint. Curiously, the eagle is no longer on a club, as in the previous issue (Prieur 91), nor on a thunderbolt, as since the beginning of eagle strikes, but on a laurel wreath. A reminder of a distinction received by the city in this year? We note in this regard that the eagles of the strikes of this vintage carry the crown in the beak, probably a distinction granted to the issuing city, unlike the eagles of the first strikes of Nero, without a crown. The sigmas are treated in C. In the TSP database maintained by Michel Prieur, only fifty-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.
