Description
Nero, 13 October 54 - 9 June 68 A.D.
From the Tony Hardy Collection. Ex-CNG 9/05 #876, which says: ""This monumental triumphal arch was erected by Nero to commemorate Roman military campaigns against the Parthians in Mesopotamia and Armenia. Although not particularly successful in a military sense, with Paetus losing almost his entire army at Randeia in Armenia, the war did end with a peace treaty favorable to Rome that was upheld for nearly fifty years. This coin type is vitally important for architectural historians, for the arch was dismantled after Nero's ignominious end in 68 A.D., and is only known through its depiction on the coins.""
