Commentary
Rubans de type 3. L’exemplaire (MONNAIES 29, n° 143) était datable du début de l’année 97 alors que cet exemplaire, où Nerva a reçu sa deuxième puissance tribunitienne ne peut avoir été frappé qu’en toute fin d’année, après le 18 septembre et même selon certaines sources (cf. BMC III, p. XXXIII), jusqu’au 27 octobre, date à laquelle il aurait revêtu sa deuxième acclamation impériale, soit un laps de temps très court !.
Historical background
NERVA
(18/09/96-25/01/98)
The reign of Nerva, born in 32, is a period of transition. It traditionally marks the end of the Twelve Caesars of Suetonius and makes the junction with the Antonine dynasty or co-opted emperors. Nerva was consul in 71 then in 90 and took his third consulship in 97. Aged, Nerva joined Trajan by adopting him. The latter succeeded him in January 98.
