Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman Emperor Nero, who ruled from 54 to 68 AD, on one side, and an image of a Roman warship on the other. This coin was minted during Nero's reign, and it is believed that the image of the warship was included to commemorate Nero's military victories.
