Commentary


Une petite contremarque en forme de C renversé sous le menton de Néron au droit. Nous n’avons pas relevé d’identité de coin pertinente. Sur cet exemplaire, on distingue nettement sous le pied de Virtus, une tête coupée, coiffée du bashlik, coiffe de feutre des Parthes ainsi qu’une enseigne et une tiare, couronne royale des souverains parthes. L’exemplaire de MONNAIES 50 s’est vendu 5520€ sur une offre maximum à 6101€ sur une estimation à 3800/6500€.

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.
