| Beschrijving keerzijde | The personification of Victoria advances to the left in a flowing draped garment, holding a laurel wreath extended in her raised right hand and a long palm branch cradled in her left arm — both attributes emblematic of military triumph. The figure is rendered in the classical Roman allegorical tradition, conveying dynamic movement across the field. The senatorial mark of authority, S C (Senatus Consultum), is prominently placed in the field to either side of the figure, affirming the Senate's authorisation of the bronze coinage. The reverse legend VICTORIA AVGVSTI arcs around the upper periphery of the flan. The composition as a whole communicates imperial prestige and the celebration of Nero's victories. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Nero's Victoria Augusti dupondii belong to a sustained propaganda push following the Armenian settlement of 63 AD, when the general Gnaeus Domitius Corbulo forced a compromise with Parthia that Rome could credibly dress up as victory. The Senate had little choice but to ratify the framing. These coins were the public face of that ratification — not a triumph, technically, but close enough for orichalcum.
Corbulo was executed by Nero's order in 67 AD, just years after the campaign these coins celebrate.
