| Reverse description | A detailed architectural rendering of the Janus temple (Ianus Geminus) occupies the central field, depicted as a rectangular arcaded structure with a tiled roof, barred lattice-work gate, and a arched doorway visible to the right side, all shown in frontal perspective. The temple doors are shown closed, symbolizing the proclamation of universal peace throughout the Roman world. The surrounding legend PACE P R VBIQ PARTA IANVM CLVSIT is disposed around the periphery, with the senatorial authority mark S C flanking the structure in the lower field. The reverse type is a politically significant design commemorating Nero's closure of the gates of the temple of Janus, an act performed only when Rome was at peace on all frontiers. The overall execution, though worn, displays the accomplished die-cutting of the Neronian Rome mint. |
