Commentary


Intéressant portrait de l’empereur jeune. De tels portraits sont très rares en numismatique romaine, du fait de la refonte générale à la réforme monétaire de 64. Curieusement, tous les coins répertoriés pour cette année sont imberbes alors que des coins à buste barbu existent pour l’année précédente.
C’est la première émission importante, effectivement destinée à la circulation, dont le revers est orné de l’aigle, qui remplace alors la Tyché. Celle-ci ne sera plus utilisée, hors sous Trajan, que pour des émissions ponctuelles, commémoratives et probablement de donativa.
Michel Prieur suggère que le choix de l’aigle ne se rapporte pas à Jupiter, dieu on ne peut moins local, mais à l’aspect de lien entre la Terre et le Ciel de l’oiseau, lui donnant l’aspect œcuménique nécessaire pour satisfaire les habitants d’une région qui regroupait des centaines de groupes ethniques et religieux.
On peut en déduire que ces émissions, peut-être pour la première fois, ne sont plus spécifiques à la ville d’Antioche mais s’adressent à tout l’ensemble de la Syrie, Palestine et Phénicie, ce qui pose une fois le plus le problème de leur financement : local, régional, impérial ?
Dans la base TSP maintenue par Michel Prieur, cent quarante deux exemplaires sont maintenant répertoriés.
Interesting portrait of the young emperor. Such portraits are very rare in Roman numismatics, due to the general overhaul during the monetary reform of 64. Curiously, all the coins listed for this year are beardless while bearded coins exist for the previous year..
This is the first important issue, actually intended for circulation, whose reverse is decorated with the eagle, which then replaces the Tyche. This will no longer be used, except under Trajan, for one-off, commemorative and probably donativa issues..
Michel Prieur suggests that the choice of the eagle does not relate to Jupiter, a god who could not be less local, but to the aspect of the bird as a link between Earth and Heaven, giving it the ecumenical aspect necessary to satisfy the inhabitants of a region which brought together hundreds of ethnic and religious groups..
We can deduce that these issues, perhaps for the first time, are no longer specific to the city of Antioch but are addressed to the whole of Syria, Palestine and Phoenicia, which once again raises the problem of their financing: local, regional, imperial? In the TSP database maintained by Michel Prieur, one hundred and forty-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.
