Reverse description Frontal view of the Temple of Janus Geminus depicted in architectural elevation, showing a rectangular structure with a latticed or grilled window on the right side and a double-panelled door on the left, upon which a garland is hung. The temple's closed doors are the central iconographic message of this type, commemorating Nero's declaration of universal peace. The reverse legend, divided between upper and lower fields with S C (Senatus Consultum) prominently placed, frames the architectural motif. This reverse type is among the most historically significant of Nero's bronze coinage, referencing the rare ceremonial closing of the Janus temple gates.
