| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Genius of the Emperor stands facing left in the central field, depicted as a togate male figure wearing a modius (grain measure) on his head, holding a patera in his extended right hand over an altar and a cornucopiae in his left hand, emblematic of abundance and imperial beneficence. The senatorial authorization mark S C (Senatus Consultum) is prominently displayed in the field to either side of the figure, flanking the deity at mid-height, as was standard practice for Roman aes denominations under the Julio-Claudian dynasty. The reverse legend GENIO AVGVSTI runs around the periphery, identifying the personification. The composition conveys the religious legitimacy of Nero's rule through the medium of state-sanctioned coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The GENIO AVGVSTI bronzes of Nero's later reign were struck during a period of increasingly strained relations between the emperor and the Senate, making the S C notation — Senatus Consulto — on these issues a studied political fiction by the mid-60s AD. Nero's Genius cult, formally invoking the divine spirit of the emperor rather than the emperor himself, offered a theological workaround that earlier emperors had used cautiously; Nero deployed it with considerably less restraint.
RIC I 383 falls within the post-64 AD reorganization of the Roman bronze coinage, which followed the great fire and Nero's sweeping monetary reforms.
