The Quinarius - Nerva coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Nerva (96-98 AD), who was known for his efforts to restore stability and prosperity to the Roman Empire after a period of turmoil. The coin's design features the goddess Victory (Victoria) on the reverse, symbolizing the empire's military victories and the emperor's role as a victorious leader.
