Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Nero, who ruled the Roman Empire from 54 to 68 AD, on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) depicts a personification of the Roman Empire, represented by a figure of Rome, seated on a throne and holding a scepter. This design was common on coins issued during Nero's reign and symbolized the power and authority of the Roman Empire.
