Sestertius, AD 65 - 67, Lyons mint.
NERO CLAVD CAESAR AVG GER P M TR P IMP P P. Portrait head, laureate, on globe right, dotted border. Rv: S - C. Triumphal arch of Nero (Arcus Neronis), front and left hand sides are shown. The single archway springs from two Ionic columns with more columns adorning each corner. A quadriga, driven by Nero, between Victoria and Pax and flanked by two soldiers, surmounts the arch; on the side is a pediment niche containing a statue of Mars. At the corners of the entablature are small statues and the front is decorated with reliefs, of which only the flying Victories on the spandrels are identifiable. RIC 392; C. 307; BMC 329; CBN 77. 27,98g. Dark green patina, extremely fine with a wonderful por. trait and a splendid reverse.
The arch commemorates of Corbulo's victories against the Parthians and was errected between 58 and 62 on the Capitoline hill. It was probably overthrown after Nero's death in AD 68.
