This as belongs to the reformed Neronian bronze coinage introduced around 64 AD, when Nero reduced the weight standard for aes coinage as part of a broader monetary adjustment that also debased the silver denarius. The reform was practical — Rome's military and administrative expenditures under Nero were substantial — but it marked the first significant debasement of the imperial bronze series since Augustus established it.
RIC 414 is among the more frequently encountered types from this reign, struck at Rome across several years of the issue.
