| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Genius Populi Romani stands facing left in a composed, hieratic pose, rendered in the classical tradition of Roman allegorical personifications. In his extended right hand he holds a patera over a flaming altar, performing a libation; in his left hand he carries a cornucopiae, symbolising abundance and divine favour. The figure is depicted togate or draped in a manner consistent with senatorial or divine personifications on Neronian aes coinage. The reverse legend GENIO AVGVSTI is disposed in the field, with S C (Senatus Consultum) flanking the central type, confirming senatorial authorisation for the bronze issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nero's Genius issues are tied directly to the imperial cult machinery he accelerated after 65 AD, when the Pisonian conspiracy shook his confidence and prompted a harder lean into divine association. The Genius Augusti type — invoking the emperor's divine spirit rather than the man himself — gave the imagery a theological buffer that outright deification could not yet claim.
RIC I 218 is one of several large bronze types struck at Rome in the latter half of his reign, a period when mint output intensified sharply following his currency reform of 64 AD.
