| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a frontal view of the Temple of Janus Geminus, rendered as a rectangular shrine with a latticed or barred window on the left side and double panelled doors on the right, adorned with a garland hung across the so-called 'terra door.' The closed doors of the temple are a powerful propagandistic statement, signifying that peace has been achieved throughout the Roman world on land and sea. The senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field, flanking the temple structure. The lengthy reverse legend is distributed around the design, commemorating Nero's celebrated closure of the gates of Janus. |
