| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the rectangular temple of Janus Geminus shown in three-quarter perspective, its arched roof surmounted by a decorative acroterion. A latticed window with a grille is visible on the right side of the structure, while the double doors on the left are shown closed, with a festive garland draped across them — a symbolic representation of peace proclaimed throughout the Roman world. The scene alludes to Nero's closing of the gates of the Temple of Janus, signifying the cessation of war on both land and sea. The senatorial mark of authority S C (Senatus Consultum) appears prominently in the field, flanking the temple. The surrounding legend proclaims the peace achieved by the Roman people on land and sea. |
