| Reverse description | A frontal architectural depiction of the Temple of Janus (Ianus Geminus) with its gates closed, rendered with two arched doorways surmounted by a tiled roof and flanked by columns, symbolising the Neronian declaration of universal peace throughout the Roman world. The gates are shown firmly shut, a powerful symbolic statement of the Pax Romana proclaimed by Nero. The senatorial authority mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears in the left and right fields respectively, indicating this bronze issue was struck under the formal sanction of the Roman Senate. The surrounding legend PACE P R VBIQ PARTA IANVM CLVSIT encircles the type, referencing the closure of the temple as a sign of peace achieved everywhere among the Roman people. The reverse type is a notable propagandistic design unique to this Neronian series and is particularly significant as only the third formal closure of Janus's gates recorded in Roman history. |
