| Beschrijving keerzijde | Winged figure of Victory, draped and striding left, holding aloft in both hands a large oval shield inscribed S P Q R (Senatus Populusque Romanus), presented as a votive offering. The composition conveys dynamic movement through the forward stride and outstretched arms, reflecting the Hellenistic artistic tradition adopted in Roman imperial iconography. The abbreviated senatorial authorisation mark S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field, flanking the central type, as was standard on Julio-Claudian aes coinage. The reverse die is boldly engraved in keeping with the monumental style of Neronian bronze issues struck at Rome. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nero's bronze coinage of the 60s AD belongs to a deliberate monetary reform he pushed through in 64 AD, reducing both the weight of the aureus and the denarius — the first significant adjustment to Augustus's standard in nearly a century. The aes coinage followed, and these later bronzes are consistently lighter than those of Claudius. The reform was almost certainly driven by the costs of rebuilding Rome after the great fire of 64 AD, though Nero's detractors, Suetonius chief among them, folded every fiscal decision into a broader narrative of profligacy.
RIC 478 is one of several Victory types produced across this window, struck at Rome under Nero's restored senatorial bronze coinage — the SC formula re-established under Claudius and continued here without interruption.
